We're particularly excited to have the Aflac Duck attend the event," Aflac Senior Vice President, Chief Brand and Communications Officer Catherine Hernandez-Blades said. "In fact, the Aflac Duck will also be making a special appearance at the Billboard Power 100 event, quacking about My Special Aflac Duck™, a social robot created by Sproutel and Aflac to serve as a caring companion for children with cancer. From there, he will be attending the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards® in an 'interesting capacity.' We hope everyone will follow the Aflac Duck on social media and tune into the broadcast."
Daybreaker's early morning movement, responsible for waking up more than 350,000 people and getting them out of bed and on the dance floor, is offering a unique morning with a powerful message: Never underestimate the power of experiences, particularly music experiences, and their effect on physical, emotional and social health. Inspired by the 60th anniversary of Music's Biggest Night®, the "Long Live Music" event will take attendees on an immersive dance journey through each musical decade.
"At this distinctive Daybreaker event, we want to bring wellness and music together in a way it's never been expressed before, and this partnership feels like the perfect mix of magic to create it," said Radha Agrawal, co-founder and CEO of Daybreaker. "As students of music and dance culture, it's a deep honor for Daybreaker to be creating an experience with Aflac to celebrate Music's Biggest Night® of acknowledgement for the artists who create the soundtrack for our lives."

About Daybreaker
Daybreaker began over a late-night falafel in Brooklyn, New York, in 2013. Social entrepreneurs and close friends, Radha Agrawal and Matt Brimer mused over an idea about dancing before the day broke with people they loved. The idea centered around creating a community that valued camaraderie, self-expression, wellness, mindfulness and mischief. The first Daybreaker ever held was Dec. 10, 2013, in the basement of a New York City coffee shop. "It was the first snowfall of the year and we didn't know who would actually show up," said Radha Agrawal, "but 180 friends came, and it was the beginning of this magical movement." Four years later, the movement is 350,000 followers strong, active in 22 cities, and continues to expand.
