"Where is the Hep B Hero?" Contest & Sweepstakes

Hep B Free Philadelphia, a citywide and community-owned education campaign led by the Hepatitis B Foundation, has launched its "Where is the Hep B Hero?" Contest & Sweepstakes to help save lives and stop hepatitis B. The fun, community-focused program will be offered over the course of five weeks and will challenge Hep B Free Philadelphia's Facebook friends to see just how well they know the City of Philadelphia.

Beginning on Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. EST, three photos of the "Hep B Hero" captured in undisclosed locations throughout Philadelphia will be posted on the Hep B Free Philadelphia Facebook page. The organization's Facebook friends will have one business week, or until Friday at 11:59 p.m. EST, to submit their guesses as to the three specific locations (i.e., specific street number, cross streets, landmark, attraction, building name, etc.) of the "Hep B Hero" in the photos. Contest participants may submit one entry per week along with their contact information through the Hep B Free Philadelphia Facebook page "Where is the Hep B Hero?" application tab.

The contest entrants who provide all three correct answers will automatically be entered into a sweepstakes to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. At the close of each contest week, two winners will be randomly drawn by the Hepatitis B Foundation, and shortly thereafter identified on the Hep B Free Philadelphia Facebook page and contacted by the Foundation. Hep B Free Philadelphia will offer the contest and sweepstakes program during the following weeks: Feb. 6-10; Feb. 13-17; Feb. 20-24; Feb. 27-Mar. 2; and Mar. 5-9, 2012.
