As part of its partnership with Marvel Studios ahead of the July 22 release of Captain America: The First Avenger, Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins are searching for "America's Super-Soldiers," those who work hard to impact their local communities.
In Marvel Studios' Captain America: The First Avenger, arriving in movie theaters on July 22, action hero Captain America is created as part of the secret "Super-Soldiers" project.
Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, with support from the USO (United Service Organizations), today launched the "America's Super-Soldiers" online contest where people can win prizes by nominating veterans or active U.S. servicepersons who are making a difference where they live or serve.
Through July 15, fans can visit either brands' official Facebook pages to nominate someone and answer short questions about why their Super-Soldier is making a difference. The grand prize winner, as selected by Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin-Robbins and a representative from the USO, will win a cash prize of $5,000, a new high-definition TV, a new Blu-Ray DVD player and a selection of DVD movies in which Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins products are featured.
Additionally, the nominator of the grand prize winner will win a $1,000 cash prize and a $100 Dunkin' Donuts card. The official rules are available online.
