Fun Friday kicks off this week with WK Kellogg's Mission Tiger celebrating a milestone: its projects are now active in all 50 states. This achievement marks a significant step forward in Mission Tiger's pursuit to give more kids access to the benefits of sports.

Since its launch in 2019, Mission Tiger, led by Tony the Tiger, has been dedicated to supporting middle school sports by funding new equipment, improving facilities and expanding sports programs. The first Mission Tiger project was founded on August 5, 2019, in Maryland and the 50th on August 21, 2024, in North Dakota. With the expansion into all 50 states, the initiative has now donated over $4 million—empowering students and communities from coast to coast.

Over the past five years, Mission Tiger has partnered with DonorsChoose to support more than 3,000 schools nationwide and create almost 2 million sports and play experiences for kids. The projects range from building new sports facilities to providing essential equipment and resources for underfunded athletic programs. Mission Tiger is one of several programs within WK Kellogg Co's sustainable business strategy, Feeding Happiness, which focuses on bringing healthier, happier futures within reach. 

Fans interested in supporting this mission can participate by purchasing Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and uploading their receipts to MissionTiger.com, sparking a $3 donation to DonorsChoose. For more information, visit FrostedFlakes.com or MissionTiger.com.
