CARMEL, IN – April 17, 2024 –
Splenda, America’s #1 sweetener brand, proudly announces the launch of “25 Families for 25 Years” as a part of the brand’s 25th birthday celebrations. For over two decades, Splenda has been at the forefront of empowering individuals to lead happier, healthier, and longer lives by making it easier to reduce sugar. In alignment with its mission and 25th birthday, Splenda is donating $2,500 to 25 families living with diabetes to offset costs toward medical expenses, educational pursuits or other essential needs.
