Domino’s Pizza wants to give free pizza to any Leap Day babies named Brooklyn, in honor of Domino’s BRKLYN (Brooklyn-style pizza).
The family of the first baby named Brooklyn born in the continental U.S. on Leap Day (February 29, 2008) will receive $1,000 in Domino’s gift certificates.
All other babies named Brooklyn born on February 29th will receive a “Brooklyn-style pizza party.”
In both cases, any spelling of the name is acceptable.
Domino’s Pizza spokesperson Jenny Fouracre added:
Leap Year babies beat the odds by being born on February 29, a day that rolls around only once every four years. We think they are very special and deserve a memorable birthday with a good story about how they were named. What a lucky group — they will be 10 when most people born the day before or after them are 40.
Domino’s held a similar promotion four years ago for babies named Dot and Dorothy, in honor of Domino’s Dots.
Update, March 2008: The winner, a baby girl named Brooklyn Elizabeth Threinen, was born on Leap Day in Scottsdale, Arizona. (Dominos.com)
