Dockers® Giving Away $100,000 Plus Additional Weekly “Man Grants”
Throughout 2011 to Encourage People to Do What They Love
SAN FRANCISCO (February 16, 2011) – The Dockers® brand is challenging men to love what they do or get busy doing what they love by presenting one lucky winner with $100,000 (post tax!) in the “Wear the Pants™ Project” contest. The Dockers® brand is also giving away an additional 43 “Man Grants”
(total value: over $75,000 in services, tools, resources, or cash) each week through the end of November 2011.
The contests are about encouraging men to take action – whether it’s that small project that never got done or a bigger life’s passion. To enter the contests, men must submit a plan for actualizing their dreams, whether professional or personal, on the Dockers® Facebook page.
“Dockers® wants to help men do what they want to do, and inspire them to come up with a plan to get it done,” says Jennifer Sey, senior vice president of global marketing, Dockers®. “We’ll provide them with a little extra encouragement and, for 44 lucky winners, the resources they need to get there.”
Since late 2009, Dockers®, the brand that has defined khaki pants for more than 25 years, has asked men to boldly “Wear the Pants” in a provocative global ad campaign that celebrates a new style of masculinity – one that blends accountability and sensitivity, for the man who knows how to change a tire and a baby’s diaper. This year, Dockers® is taking the campaign – and their fans – to the next level, providing the resources to help men realize their potential.

Wear the Pants™
The Dockers® brand’s “Wear the Pants™” global ad campaign celebrates the reemergence of the khaki as the go-to versatile pant in a man’s wardrobe. The tongue in cheek campaign encourages men to, once again, Wear the Pants™. Dockers® has designed an updated and decidedly masculine collection of khakis.
The line is straightforward and streamlined, aimed at emancipating men from the cubicle khaki, giving them a stylish, grown-up alternative to jeans. While the focus of the Wear the Pants™ campaign has been on the Dockers® brand for men, the Wear the Pants™ Project $100,000 contest and the weekly
Man Grants contests are open to both men and women who want to finally do that thing they love; all entrants must be 21 years of age and live in the United States.
Dockers® continues to offer its khakis range for women, along with women’s and men’s tops and other essentials that complement khakis.
