In celebration of the Shania's Wishes for Spring disc launch and to support the fight against hunger, P&G will donate $100,000 to America's Second Harvest, a charity close to Shania's heart. The international star's partnership with P&G was first announced in September, and includes her involvement in the musically-themed marketing campaign, with Shania's hit "Forever and For Always" featured in the Scentstories TV ads; Shania starring in the upcoming print ads and prominently on http://www.scentstories.com/; and her new duet, "Party for Two," to be showcased in the radio ads across country music stations. "I'm thrilled for the launch of this special Scentstories disc that includes my favorite springtime scents all on one disc. I hope that my fans will enjoy and appreciate these fresh aromas and feel good at the same time knowing P&G, the makers of Scentstories, are supporting America's Second Harvest," said Shania. "The fight against hunger is so important and I'm thankful to P&G for supporting the cause in conjunction with the Shania's Wishes for Spring disc launch." "Shania has lent the same level of beauty and creativity to her new Scentstories disc as she does to her own music. We're pleased to bring music lovers nationwide another great thematic Scentstories disc that will allow them to express themselves through scent," said John Sebastian, brand manager for Scentstories. "This is just another step in our exciting partnership with Shania Twain -- the many musical components of the campaign complement the unique ability Scentstories provides for consumers to play scents like they play music."
