Tyson Foods Searches for Gold Medal Mom

One of America’s darlings is helping to choose America’s favorite mom.

Tyson Foods, Inc. has teamed up with Olympic gymnastic champion Mary Lou Retton in a national search for the mom most deserving of the title “Gold Medal Mom.”

Dr. Lorraine Williams, editor of Trackmom.com, featured a Tyson Food contest in which mothers of Olympic Hopefuls can win an all-expense paid trip to the Beijing Olympics.

The mom can be someone who volunteers or works full time and raises a family. She must go above and beyond the call of duty. The contest is part of Tyson’s “Thank You, Mom” marketing campaign, which reminder families to thank their mother for the simple things she does every day.

The top winner will receive a trip for two to Beijing, China to the 2008 Olympic Games. The grand-prize also includes $6,000 spending money, and the winner’s face will appear on U.S. Olympic Team packaging. Finalists will receive a $300 gift card to SpaFinder.com.
