Jennifer Hudson and the Iconic Dawn Ducklings Flock Together to Eliminate Grease in the Kitchen and on Delicate Feathers

Hudson, the EGOT-winning singer, actress, and wildlife enthusiast, encourages shoppers to fight grease, save money, and support International Bird Rescue with a limited-time offer from Dawn

The Dawn ducklings are waddling off the bottle and right into Jennifer Hudson’s kitchen. The Dawn ducklings are icons of Dawn’s tough, yet gentle, grease-fighting power –hatched from wildlife rescue experts’ discovery that Dawn®, America’s #1 Dish Brand, effectively removed every drop of oil from vulnerable wildlife. It became the only brand they trust. After proudly nesting on Dawn’s bottles for decades, the ducklings are fluffing their feathers and stepping into the spotlight. They are starring in Dawn’s newest TV commercial and, in a video released today, are teaming up with Hudson, acclaimed actress and singer, popular talk-show host, and wildlife lover, to share how the brand helps save birds in the wild and eliminates grease quickly to cut time at the sink.

“As a busy working mom, I trust Dawn because it's important for my cleanup to be as fast and easy as possible,” Hudson said. “The Dawn ducklings sat by my sink for years, so I was very excited to welcome them into my home and support their wildlife-saving efforts.”

The ducklings remind people that if Dawn can effectively clean every drop of oil off delicate feathers, it can easily handle any family’s dirtiest dishes. That’s why Hudson is partnering with the Dawn ducklings to share a feather-ruffling offer to help save money and wildlife.
