Give 100% this holiday season!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Nike and Lance Armstrong partnered on a LIVESTRONG Collection holiday gift guide that allows holiday shoppers to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and the ongoing battle to overcome cancer.

The collection includes running and training footwear, apparel, and accessories, and 100% of Nike’s profits from the collection go to the LAF. Nike and Lance have united with LAF supporters Evan Handler, Ben Harper, Elle Fanning, Susan Sarandon, Forrest Whitaker, Lisa Leslie, Hillary Duff, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Dana Delany, Masi Oka, Mark Parker and Robin Roberts, all of whom appear in the gift guide.

As part of the Give 100% promotion, Nike is sponsoring a contest where you can help us identify someone in your life who consistently gives 100%. Whether it’s fundraising, fighting cancer, or being an advocate in the community, tell us about that person for their chance to spend a day with one of the remarkable individuals listed above. (You can read all the rules here.) You can also see some exclusive videos from the photo shoot.

So, tell us about someone you know who Gives 100%! And don’t forget to browse the LIVESTRONG Collection – 100% of the profits go straight to the LAF.

On August 31st, 2008, you can make history by participating in a 10k race like no other: The Nike+ Human Race. The run will be hosted in 25 separate cities, or you can run anywhere at all using Nike+. The run will benefit three different charities, one of which is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

There are two ways to run the race:

1. Join fellow runners in one of 25 cities hosting the 10k races worldwide.

2. Run anywhere you are using your Nike+, and then just sync your run by the end of the day.

Signing up is easy. Visit nikeplus.com to register in your city of choice. Can’t find a city to race in? No worries — no matter your location, with your Nike+ Sport Kit or Nike+ SportBand, you can register, track your miles and then sync your race at nikeplus.com, the official destination for the Nike+ Human Race.

Nike hopes to get one million runners involved, to celebrate running and benefit some great causes: The Lance Armstrong Foundation, The UN Refugee Agency, and the World Wildlife Fund. Every mile you run on race day will help decide how much is donated to each charity; you can pick which one you’d like to benefit! Learn more at nikeplus.com.

To make things even more interesting, we’re raffling away 8 Nike+ SportBands (LIVESTRONG edition) — that’s the device that tracks how far you’ve run, and the calories you’ve burned with a chip in your shoe.

There are two ways to qualify:

1. Take the Nike+ Human Race 10k Dare
2. Join the Group

If you do both, you get two entries!

Each of the next four Fridays — 8/8, 8/15, 8/22, and 8/29 — we’ll pick two winners, both of whom will receive both the SportBand and a Human Race t-shirt.

So, get ready to run, win, and help make the world a better place!
