Three weeks ago, Gillette® (NYSE: PG) re-committed itself to both
demonstrating and celebrating all that it means to be a man at his best
in today’s world. Today, the brand is putting a very Boston-friendly
twist on that commitment, partnering with team captain Tom Brady to mark
the New England Patriots’ sixth Super Bowl championship with a
celebratory “shave-down” for charity.

Fresh off Sunday’s victory, Gillette brought Tom Brady to the Company’s
World Shaving Headquarters in the heart of South Boston to shed his
playoff scruff for the benefit of three non-profits with a long history
of support from both Brady and Gillette. Together Brady and Gillette
donated more than $100,000 to three organizations - Boys
& Girls Clubs of South Boston, Best
Buddies, and Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute – in recognition of the work they undertake daily
to make a positive difference in the lives of Boston residents and
beyond.
While at Gillette, Brady also signed three Gillette
On Demand boxes, each containing a New
England Patriots-branded razor handle and blades. These boxes will
be auctioned off in the coming days, with all proceeds benefitting the
event’s three charities. For fans of the team, these same team logo
handles are sold exclusively through Gillette On Demand for $25. Special
Edition Super Bowl LIII handles are also available for a limited time.
“Gillette’s long-standing tradition of celebrating hometown victories
with a playoff beard shave-down continues today as we celebrate the
incredible New England Patriots,” said Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette & Venus
Director, North America. “We have always and will always stand behind
men at their best, and there’s no better representation of that today
than Tom Brady. We’re thrilled to be a part of his fresh start as he
takes time to relax in the offseason and prepare for next season.”
