With the official start to summer only a few days away, ComEd is kicking off the “Coolest Summer Ever,” an 11-week social media promotion featuring once-in-a-lifetime prizes such as feeding a giraffe at the Brookfield Zoo, throwing out the first pitch at Cubs game, or camping out at the Morton Arboretum.

Beginning today and running until early September, visitors to ComEd’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ComEd) get a chance to win backstage-access kinds of experiences at the top cultural and civic institutions in northern Illinois, which are also among ComEd’s community partners.

To participate in the Coolest Summer Ever promotion, participants can submit an entry every day for each week’s prize by clicking the Coolest Summer Ever link on ComEd’s Facebook page. Entrants will be eligible to receive one of the 11 weekly prizes by answering trivia questions about that week’s prize or energy efficiency and other programs offered to ComEd customers.

The Coolest Summer Ever promotion ends on September 1. Additional information and sweepstakes rules can be found at comed.com/coolestsummer.
