PHOENIX, AZ – November 17, 2020 – What if, just for one weekend, the Valley of the Sun honored the unmatched bond between humans and dogs with a weekend unlike any other? To celebrate the premiere of The Pack on November 20th, Amazon Prime Video has created the ultimate holiday for dogs and the people who love them: an extraordinary PACKED WEEKEND, offering one-of-a-kind, pup-centric experiences in the Phoenix-metro area. This global celebration, running Friday, November 20th through Sunday, November 22nd, invites everyone and their pets to experience pampering, exciting activities, and a way to help support local businesses.
Beginning Friday, November 20th, local businesses will offer giveaways, discounted or free services, surprise pup-grades, and gifts with purchase throughout PACKED WEEKEND! Be on the lookout in your neighborhood for discounts at retailers like My Pet Market (7 Valley locations) and Noble Beast: Natural Market for Pets, a free gift with purchase at Mucho Más Art Studio, discounted grooming services for new customers at AZ Mobile Spaws and many other perks! To complete this jam-PACKED WEEKEND, Prime Video will be hosting a drive-in, dog-friendly viewing party of the first two episodes of The Pack at Edelweiss Biergarten. For a list of confirmed activities and giveaways in Phoenix, see below – and remember to check back with PackedWeekend.com regularly as new brands and delights are being added every day.
The PACKED WEEKEND fun continues with the PACK WALK CHALLENGE, a global opportunity to get moving with your pup. Starting Friday, November 20th, everyone can use MapMyFitness or MyFitnessPal apps from Under Armour to participate in “20 Workouts in 30 Days” or “30 Miles in 30 Days” (depending on the app) to help us achieve the largest global pack walk ever, while helping you and your pet stay healthy and strong! During the course of the PACK WALK CHALLENGE, pet parents are encouraged to donate to three worthy charitable organizations right in the app –The American Heart Association’s Healthy Bond for Life, Environmental Defense Fund, and Best Friends Animal Society– to spotlight their own health, that of the planet and to help every dog live their best life. And, to honor the spirit of charity at the heart of The Pack, Prime Video will generously match consumer donations up to $100,000 (split evenly among the charities) for a 24-hour window beginning November 21st. After completing the Challenge, eligible participants will have the chance to win a prize package, including roundtrip travel for four anywhere Alaska Airlines flies. Fans everywhere can get pumped up with a playlist curated exclusively for the PACK WALK CHALLENGE from Amazon Music.
Even athletes are getting in on the action! Arizona Cardinals’ Kenyan Drake and Pittsburgh Steelers’ Juju Smith-Schuster will be welcoming viewers into their lives and homes for an all-access, day-in-the-life look. In advance of the show’s premiere, we get a dog’s view into the lives of these fan favorites, shown via the athlete’s social media. Athletes will also share the heartwarming stories of how they became a pet parent, the best place they’ve traveled to together, their favorite pastimes, and the emotional connections they share, just like the stories featured in The Pack.
