Summer is a time when families join together to have fun and experience memorable moments, and Banana Boat® sunscreen wants to help families create and experience these moments while protecting their skin in "7 Conditions"*– sun, pool water, ocean water, wind, sweat, sand and extreme heat. Banana Boat® sun care products are tested in these 7 conditions to provide safe and effective broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection for the entire family. Banana Boat® sunscreen and Melissa Rycroft are encouraging families to enjoy their time together outdoors, and to do so with proper sun protection.
"As the mother of an active two-year-old, I spend a lot of time running around outside with my family," said "Dancing with the Stars" alum Melissa Rycroft. "I like the idea of building a tradition of family fun in the sun, and doing so while staying protected from the elements is top of mind for me."
The Banana Boat® Unconditional Fun Sweepstakes gives families multiple chances to win summer fun prizes through weekly giveaways hosted on the Banana Boat® sunscreen Facebook fan page. Users are encouraged to upload a photo of their family having fun in any one of the Banana Boat® sunscreen 7 Conditions to the Facebook page or visit the Facebook fan page to view photos and enter for a chance to win the fun family prize that reflects that week's featured condition. Prizes include an outdoor swing set, an inflatable waterpark, and many more!
To celebrate the creation of family traditions, Great Wolf Lodge® Waterpark Resorts is joining Banana Boat® sunscreen in the sweepstakes by offering fun families the chance to win the ultimate four-day, three-night family getaway to any of the ten U.S. Great Wolf Lodge® Waterpark Resorts locations.
"Great Wolf Lodge® Waterpark Resorts is delighted to be working with Banana Boat® sunscreen to allow families to come together and have a good time at one of our lodges," said Nikki Donofrio, Senior Vice President of Strategic Brand Marketing at Great Wolf Lodge® Waterpark Resorts. "We look forward to providing family fun inside and out for the ultimate fun family."
The Unconditional Fun Sweepstakes comes on the heels of the release of two new Banana Boat® sunscreen lotions — Banana Boat® Protect & Hydrate sunscreen lotion which combines aloe with antioxidant Vitamins C & E to maintain 100% of skin's natural moisture, and Banana Boat® Sport Performance® CoolZone™ sunscreen lotion which instantly cools and refreshes the skin on contact.
"Family fun is best enjoyed when everyone involved is protected from the sun's harmful UV rays," said Carla Luca, Senior Brand Manager of Banana Boat® brand sunscreens. "Whether it's enjoying family time at the beach or in the park, we've got you covered."
