Quenching The Thirst of Our Neighbors in Lehigh & Chester Counties

This is how we "Quench the Thirst of our Neighbors" in the Community through participation in events in

Lehigh & Chester Counties

Another new season at Coca-Cola Park with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. This is the start of their 7th season in Allentown. Coca-Cola takes part in many events with the IronPigs throughout the year. The IronPigs Charities, Phillies Winter Banquet, iRUNpigs 5K, Hacker's & Homers Annual Golf Outing, Mascot & Parade Appearances and Suites & Treats, just to name a few.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Lehigh Valley took part in the Annual Kids Expo at the DaVinci Science Center in Allentown on August 2013. We donated product for the 1,500 children attending the Expo & we presented a science project with water usage and conservation with rain barrels. The next Expo is May 3rd and we are taking part in this free event for a day of learning and fun again!

Whether its a special event or a seasonal celebration, our sales department at Lehigh & Chester Counties have fun setting up these creative displays for our customers stores.

 

Last summer in late August, Coca-Cola took to the skies with the Lehigh Valley Airshow at Lehigh Valley International Airport as the beverage sponsor.

Every March, Coca-Cola takes part in the Bethlehem St. Patrick's Day Parade. Our employees and their families have fun sharing Coca-Cola with the parade watchers. This year, the IronPigs mascots FeRROUS and FeFe, and the Phantoms mascot Daks, joined us in the community celebration.

Coca-Cola partnered with Just Born Candy, home of the Peeps, for the 5th Peeps Fest at the ArtsQuest, SteelStacks Center on December 30th & 31st for a two day family festival. The Coca-Cola Polar Bear, Peeps Chick and Elmo mascots, along with live South African penguins and lovable sled dogs, were all on hand for this free family fun event. Our sales team built an amazing 15' x 20' Coca-Cola Ski Chalet (pictured below). The children enjoyed meeting the Coca Cola Polar bear inside the chalet and received a special gift from him.The Coca-Cola Polar Bear met his match....a polar bear made entirely of Peeps (see below).

Recently we announced a partnership with another entertainment venue in the Lehigh Valley. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms Ice Hockey Team in downtown Allentown!
When the puck drops at the new arena in September, we will be the official soft drink of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Meet Daks, the mascot for the Phantoms. (Below, resting on top of the car).

Every year, each suite holder at Coca-Cola Park decorates their suite for the annual Suites & Treats event. Coca Cola employees decorate and take part in this safe "trick-or-treating" alternative for under-privileged and special needs children in the Lehigh Valley. This past year, we decorated the suite as "The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". In the past we decorated our suite with different themes, such as 'Hollywood' and a 'football field with goal posts'. It's a lot of fun and we love giving back to the community.

Several times a year, our Sales force participates in sampling's. This particular sampling of Coke Zero happened at the Annual Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber event outside of the Sands Event Center in Bethlehem. We had enough product for over 1,000 attendees of the annual meeting.
