Advil relieves pain. That's what it's about. Pain is a holistic thing, it involves the mind, body and spirit. To relieve pain in other capacities — like helping communities devastated by a tornado or a flood — is such a great service. Advil is supporting organizations, including Team Rubicon, that are actively bringing relief to people who have been affected by disasters. It's a really forward thinking approach.
Volunteering for Disaster Relief
Team Rubicon is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide disaster relief in ways that conventional
organizations cannot — by focusing on the unique strengths that veterans can bring to the equation. These strengths, including emergency medicine, risk assessment and mitigation, teamwork and decisive leadership, are invaluable in disaster zones — from an earthquake-shaken Haiti to a treacherously flooded Vermont.
The recently launched Advil® Relief in Action campaign honors volunteers who don't let pain get in the way of providing relief to people in need, and supports the efforts of organizations such as Team Rubicon, Habitat for Humanity® and Wounded Warrior Project®. During 2013, consumers who purchased Advil were given the opportunity to support these organizations and the everyday heroes among us by making a financial donation through their purchase of participating Advil bottles. We have encouraged people to upload photos of themselves giving back onto Twitter and Instagram by using #ReliefinAction. An inspiring collage of photos celebrating these tireless heroes can be found on advil.com/reliefinaction.
