"As a girl dad and a busy parent, spending that quality time with my kids in the spirit of having fun and getting creative—maybe even a little competitive—is so important to me, so playing games is a huge part of how we spend our time together," said Ludacris. "This Rice Krispies Treats® 'Treat. Eat. Compete.' collab was the perfect way for me to share our traditions with the world and help inspire more families to get playing, creating, and connecting, plus, give back to a cause close to my heart, Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The best part? Each "Treat. Eat. Compete." set is much more than a unique addition to the game closet collection – it's a way to support kids in communities nationwide. Alongside a donation of more than $100,000 made on behalf of Rice Krispies Treats® brand and Ludacris, proceeds from each game set will support Boys & Girls Clubs of America to help foster more safe places to play, compete and create for kids nationwide.
"At Rice Krispies Treats®, we know there's nothing more rewarding than being able to create everlasting moments of connections that bring you closer to loved ones, even if over something simple and sweet like our Rice Krispies Treats® bars," said Heidi Ray, Senior Director of Brand Marketing for Kellogg's Portable Wholesome Snacks. "That's why we're beyond thrilled to team up with Ludacris to co-create these family-fun-fueling games that inspire new family traditions around the table. We can't wait to see how fans nationwide will be inspired to host after-dinner game nights and snack-time showdowns, all in the spirit of Treat. Eat. Compete.!"
