Crown Royal is Matching Tips for Uber Eats Drivers During NFL Season

This 2022-23 NFL season marks year two of the ‘Kickoff With Crown Royal’ campaign. As the NFL’s first-ever whiskey sponsor, Crown Royal, the award-winning Canadian whisky brand, is partnering up with Uber Eats to celebrate game day all season long. They have pledged $500,000 from the Crown Royal Generosity Fund to match customer tips to Uber Eats couriers one hour before Sunday kickoff all season long in select American cities*.

Crown Royal also teamed up with NFL Legend Ed Reed to surprise some lucky delivery drivers with tickets to their team’s regular season openers.

The campaign is part of a season-long commitment made by Crown Royal to donate $1 million to hospitality workers and military over the course of the season.

“We’re excited to welcome back Crown Royal as the first-ever official whisky sponsor of the NFL,” said Tracie Rodburg, Senior Vice President of Sponsorship Management at the NFL. “With the season right around the corner, we’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with Crown Royal to celebrate and give back to local communities, hospitality workers, and military heroes all season long.”

Nicky Heckles, Vice President of Crown Royal said, “We’re excited to enter year two of ‘Kickoff with Crown Royal’ and extend our partnership with the NFL who shares in our mission of giving back and inspiring generosity. This season, we’re proud to partner with Uber Eats and give back directly to the delivery drivers who work tirelessly to make gameday happen.”

This sponsorship deal will also include activations in stadiums and cities benefitting hospitality industry employees during the NFL season.

In the campaign’s first year, during the 2021-22 NFL season, ‘Kickoff with Crown Royal’:

• committed $1 million to over 20 nonprofits supporting communities in need
• distributed over 6,000 water bottles on gameday to encourage responsible drinking with The Crown Royal Water Break campaign
• continued The Purple Bag Project by packing over 200,000 Purple Bags for the military community

Crown Royal is encouraging all fans to raise a glass to all those who help make your gameday great. Don’t forget to tip your delivery driver!
