In total, the promotion will involve 8 landmarks across the country.
"Each of the landmarks or characters symbolizes the concept of strength in its own unique way – from their physical size or their role in honoring an outstanding achievement in their field, to commemorating a historical figure who has overcome an incredible obstacle. Together, these landmarks parallel the different examples of strength exemplified by the contestants on the show throughout SURVIVOR’s 45 seasons"
