Leap Year is Giving Us One More Day, and Mastercard Wants to Help You Share it With Someone You Love
Brand to auction Priceless Experiences and donate 100% of winning bids to Stand Up To Cancer
Leap Day may exist to ensure that the calendar stays in line with the Earth’s movement around the Sun, but it also gives us one more day in the year to share in new and exciting experiences. Through Leap Day, Mastercard has curated an array of Priceless Experiences across sports, entertainment, and travel, among others, to help consumers use that extra day to share their passions with someone they love. The experiences are now available for auction on Priceless.com/LeapYear . Mastercard will donate one hundred percent of the winning bids to Stand Up To Cancer.
“Experiences, whether it be across music or travel, are truly best when shared with those that matter most to you,” said Cheryl Guerin, executive vice president of North America Marketing & Communications for Mastercard. “Leap year gives us an extra day to do just that, and we want to give our cardholders a unique way to share their passion with someone special while at the same time giving back with purpose.”
