OFF!® Collaborates with National Park Foundation

In an exciting partnership, OFF!® Repellents is now an official sponsor of the National Park Foundation, aiming to protect adventurers from insects as they explore the stunning landscapes of America's national parks. With recent surveys indicating that 25% of Americans have the goal of visiting every U.S. national park, this collaboration couldn’t come at a better time, especially as National Park Week approaches, running from April 19-27.

To celebrate this initiative, OFF!® has launched the OFF! to Adventure Sweepstakes. This exciting opportunity allows outdoor enthusiasts to win a comprehensive prize package, making their park adventures not only more accessible but also enjoyable and safe from pesky mosquitoes and ticks. The sweepstakes runs until August 31, 2025, with five lucky winners selected to receive a prize pack that includes:

• - A $1,000 gift card for adventure expenses.
• - An America the Beautiful Annual Pass granting access to all U.S. national parks and federal lands.
• - A supply of OFF!® Deep Woods® products for effective mosquito and tick protection.
• - A national park passport book and stamp pack for documenting their journey.

Entering the sweepstakes is straightforward. Participants need to purchase any OFF!® product and submit their receipt online, or they can choose a no-purchase mail-in entry option. This flexibility ensures that everyone has a chance to win. According to Chad Jones, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at the National Park Foundation, this partnership is critical in protecting the nation’s cherished parks while equipping adventurers with the necessary tools to enjoy their experiences.

The Importance of PREtection

With outdoor activities in full swing, OFF!® emphasizes the importance of what they call PREtection. This strategy advocates for preventive measures against insect bites by applying insect repellent as a final step after sunscreen application. This insight is backed by Dr. Tom Mascari, the principal entomologist at SC Johnson's Center for Insect Science and Family Health™, who advises that adventurers should always stay mindful of mosquitoes and ticks while engaging in outdoor activities.

With mosquitoes being particularly active during dawn and dusk, enthusiasts are encouraged to plan their visits accordingly and wear protective clothing. Dr. Mascari stresses the necessity of applying personal insect repellent beforehand to avert encounters with these biting nuisances.

Useful Tools for Park Goers

To further assist park visitors, OFF!® offers a tool known as the OFF!Cast Mosquito Forecast™. This feature predicts mosquito populations and activity levels based on zip codes, allowing adventurers to plan their outings better and maximize their enjoyment at the parks. For those venturing into the great outdoors, OFF!® Deep Woods® provides proven, long-lasting protection against a wide range of pests, including mosquitoes, ticks, black flies, chiggers, and more, ensuring a worry-free experience.
