The Knockturnal got the chance to chat with Dominique Thorne, who plays Ironheart in the latest MCU Black Panther movie, about joining forces to provide the gentlest touch with Puffs to meet with the world’s fiercest superheroes at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Even the world’s toughest superheroes are not safe from a sore, red nose during Cold & Flu season, let alone the delicate noses of children battling life-threatening illnesses whose treatments can often cause delicate skin to become dry, rough, itchy and red. The “Puffs Power Pals” troupe is back for yet another #PassthePuffs mission, this time with Dominque leading the charge.With cold and flu season upon us, the chances of a sore, red nose are
only increased by using ordinary tissues.

Playing an iconic role, Dominique knows all too well about the strength of superheroes and what it’s like to face
and overcome unique challenges in the industry. “The success of the MCU and the growing ways it seeks to accurately represent us all; across creed and circumstance, is something I am very proud to be a part of. ” says Dominique. “So when Puffs asked me to join them and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, in celebrating these kids —all of whom have and continue to be real life superheroes in the face of adversity— it was an easy ‘yes!’”. An elite group of young yet mighty superheroes, the Puffs Power Pals are on a mission to blast sore, red noses this season with Puffs Ultra Soft, all while honoring those children that fight like superheroes every single day. To further help the Power Pals on their mission, Puffs tissues is donating $25,000 and 3,500 boxes of Puffs Ultra Soft to the little noses in need at Children’s HealthCare of Atlanta.
“We are honored and humbled to put a spotlight on the children at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and lend a
soft touch to those battle adversity and face challenges every day,” said Janette Yauch, Vice President, Puffs. “This
year we’re proud to commit $25,000 in addition to donating Puffs Tissues to help these children keep fighting like
the superheroes they are.”

You can join Puffs and Dominique in lending a soft touch to #ANoseInNeed at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta by visiting choa.org. Check out our video interview with Dominique where we chatted about the campaign, as well as what it was like working on “Wakanda Forever”.
