Today we are looking at the Dear Peyton Letters series of video commercials that debuted yesterday by Gatorade which are in tribute to Manning’s retirement showing several recipients reading hand written letters from Peyton.

How delightful it is to have today’s blog post to share as we are nearing wrapping up National Letter Writing Month!

Dear Peyton Letters

When I first watched these on YouTube yesterday morning there were about 2000 views, as of writing this there are over 1,307,000 views.  Thank you to my dear friend Shelly Holt at Scrap and Design for her email yesterday sharing with me about these wonderful commercials.

There are seven videos in the Dear Peyton Letters (#DearPeyton) series produced by Gatorade that debuted yesterday, Thursday, April 18, 2016, during the first day of the NFL draft.   They feature people reading portions of the letters they had received from him.

From Around The NFL April 28th article: “Among those in the two-minute spot include Tony Dungy, Jeff Saturday, Demaryius Thomas, Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, the mother of Tyler Frenzel — a young Colts fan with cancer who was treated at the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital — and long-time NFL Insider for ESPN Chris Mortensen, who makes his first on-camera appearance since undergoing cancer treatment.”

After watching all of these Dear Peyton Letters commercials I’m definitely going to be using “Sincerely” more in my letter closings!  Don’t forget the impact your hand written letters have that you make the time to send!  Join me tomorrow for my Saturday blog post here at AnchoredScraps.com.
