About Alaska
Milk
Given the growing issues on health
as well as the fast-changing technological environment, which leads to the
change in children’s interests and behavior or sedentary lifestyle, Alaska
believes that there is a need to reinforce its thrust in leading a healthy
lifestyle not just by drinking milk but also by leading an active lifestyle.
Alaska seeks to engage the youth, especially younger kids, in sports.
Alaska Milk looks beyond selling
milk – it sells nutrition and by doing so, the Company and brand Alaska is
doing its part in nation-building.
Through youth sports development programs, Alaska is able to help nourish
children for them to develop into champions in the field of interest and, in
general, in life. The overall objective
of the Alaska Sports is to strengthen the brand’s equity in nutrition through
sports. To portray Alaska Fortified as a
brand that helps instill the values of determination, discipline, teamwork, and
hard work among the youth through sports.
Congratulations to all the finalists! Keep it up! 04/30/2019 (Runner Rocky)
