Tell us why your community is loving plant-based options this summer – 10 winners will receive $1,000 and Follow Your Heart products to host their own outdoor block party

LOS ANGELES, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Follow Your Heart^®, a leader in the plant-based industry for over 50 years, wants to help you throw the most epic summer block party with plant-based options for everyone to enjoy. Outdoor block parties are a cornerstone of summer fun in communities across the country, but many gatherings don't typically feature enough plant-based options.

Follow Your Heart believes that all people should have easy access to plant-based foods at gatherings and beyond, and that everyone should be invited to the plant-based party! Whether you're a lifelong vegan or just starting on your journey, we want to help people across the country experience just how tasty plant-based alternatives can be.

To kick summer off right, Follow Your Heart is giving away $10,000 plus delicious plant-based prizes to local communities across the country so they can throw their own block party celebrations. Ten winners will receive $1,000 each to use towards their own outdoor block party and plenty of Follow Your Heart plant-based eats – including Vegenaise^®, the original egg-free spread, Dairy-Free Cheeses, Dairy-Free Salad Dressings, and more – plus, a custom Follow Your Heart branded cooler to keep all your dairy-free goodies cold and ready for the grill.

"Outdoor block parties are making a big comeback in 2022 after two summers when events were few and far between," said Lauren Kahner, director of marketing at Follow Your Heart. "This summer, Follow Your Heart wants to be a part of your outdoor celebration and ensure it includes delicious plant-based eats for all. Summer block parties are a fun, food-filled tradition for communities to come together and enjoy good times with good eats – and we're all about that at Follow Your Heart!"

Follow Your Heart makes great-tasting, innovative plant-based foods while striving to make the world a more compassionate and delicious place for people coming together to share good food and good times.
