Mascot Volunteer Guidelines
Please read the following carefully before submitting for a mascot reservation, and before selecting a volunteer to represent McKee Foods Corporation at your event.
Mascot Costume Conduct
We suggest that only employees of McKee Foods Corporation wear the mascot costumes. If you are unable to do so, please make sure to contact us prior to the event at mascots@mckee.com.
The image we portray is the mirroring of our company brands and values. Please make sure to represent the company and its brands well in front of our consumers. Events with our mascots could be a determining factor in how consumers perceive us and our products. The mascot characters and their event appearances should enhance our company Mission Statement, Vision Statement and Guiding Values as well as continue to make our products appealing. Remember, we bake and the world smiles, including our mascot representation. Lending our mascots out or allowing non-employees to dress in them could result in failure to uphold the things we value most as employees of McKee Foods. We should always strive to maintain a wholesome image with family-friendly behavior, interactions and speech towards consumers. We appreciate you helping us represent our beloved brands well and creating lasting, meaningful interactions with our consumers across the country!
