Head & Shoulders, Polamalu tackle Operation Once in a Lifetime

CINCINNATI Procter & Gamble's Head & Shoulders brand has launched a Web site, in partnership with brand spokesman Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, where consumers can donate $1 on behalf of Head & Shoulders to help fulfill the dreams of seven soldiers.

Head & Shoulders and Polamalu have been working with Operation Once in a Lifetime, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the dreams of soldiers come true, whether it is through providing a basic need or a wish.

In tandem with the partnership, Head & Shoulders has launched www.TroyTacklesMore.com as a hub for fans to engage with Polamalu. Visitors have the opportunity to click to donate $1 on behalf of the brand and for Polamalu to fulfill the dreams of seven soldiers.

Head & Shoulders over the next six months also is pledging thousands of bottles of shampoo to put into U.S. barracks, which are currently lacking in toiletries, through the Return Respect Program, an initiative created by Head & Shoulders and Operation Once in a Lifetime.

Polamalu, alongside Head & Shoulders, has been working to fulfill the wishes of the seven service men and women via Operation Once in a Lifetime. According to the brand, such wishes include providing the financial means for the Buglehall family to fly between Texas and Minnesota as well as providing accommodations during their travels for an entire year as their daughter receives treatment for Fanconi Anemia, a rare blood disorder.

Another granted wish gave Sgt. Simmons the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of being a singer-songwriter by recording her demo tape.
