In honor of the historic win, Kellogg’s® announced that Duggan will be featured on a Gold Medal Edition box of Special K®, available in limited quantities for a short time only. “I’m so proud of the women on my team. We fought hard to get here – we made sacrifices on and off the ice away from our loved ones to come together as a team, and our effort paid off to complete our journey to Olympic Gold,” said Duggan. “I couldn’t have done it without them and the support of my family, Team USA and Team Kellogg’s. I can’t believe I’m on a second box of Special K!” “It’s amazing to welcome Jamie to the Team Kellogg’s™ family and celebrate her two medals with our favorite gamestime tradition,” said Sam Minardi, director, brand marketing, Kellogg Company. “Now, her Corn Flakes box will always be connected with the two medals she won for Team USA in PyeongChang.” Anderson’s Gold Medal Edition Corn Flakes cereal box is available on KelloggsFamilyRewards.com, while supplies last.
