Join the Advil Congestion Relief Project: Win $30000 for Your Community & $500 for Yourself!

The leading cold and flu brand Advil is putting a twist on its tagline – “The Right Relief for the Real Problem,” by initiating the Advil Congestion Relief Project, which aims to provide relief to congestion problems facing communities around the country, from undersupplied schools to crowded streets and more. In its first relief stop, the Advil Congestion Relief Project unveiled a new library at P.S. 130 in the Bronx on Tuesday, November 15. Now the project is looking for more communities in need of help through an online contest.

You could bring up to $30,000 cash to your local community by answering the following 3 questions in a short essay:

1. What’s congested in your community? (no more than 150 words)
2. How does that affect your community? (no more than 150 words)
3. How could Advil Congestion Relief relieve your community’s congestion? (no more than 200 words)

Entries will be judged based on relevance to theme, composition/clarity, degree of impact to a community, and feasibility. Three winning communities will each receive up to $30,000 in sponsorship while the authors of the winning submissions will each receive a $500 cash reward! The deadline to enter the contest is January 4, 2012 at noon. Good luck!

Get Prepared for Flu Season with Advil Congestion Relief

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recently reported in USA Today that the flu season is circulating in all 50 states and widespread in 37. It's important to keep the right supplies on hand in case it hits your household.

One of the annoying symptoms of flu is nasal congestion. Do you know that oftentimes the real cause of congestion is swelling due to nasal inflammation rather than mucus? I didn't until very recently. That explains why sometimes nothing came out when you tried to blow your nose to relieve congestion. In fact, a recent poll revealed that 79% of Americans are not aware that “inflamed nasal passages” are a potential cause of nasal congestion.

Advil® Congestion Relief is a new solution for the real problem. It combines the power of Advil® and an effective decongestant, to provide relief from sinus pressure, nasal swelling, congestion, and headaches. You can find Advil® Congestion Relief at major retailers nationwide. One2One Network sent me some sample packets of this new product for review. Although (thankfully) I haven't had the need to use any, I enjoy the peace of mind they provide, knowing that I have the right sinus medicine in my cabinet.
