SALISBURY, N.C. — Food Lion will kick off its Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals® Fall Football Campaign, Wednesday, Sept. 4. The campaign will
run through Sept. 17 to support local children and their families receiving
medical care from 26 children’s hospitals.

During the two-week campaign, customers who donate $1 at the register will
receive a paper football to acknowledge their support. Customers can also
purchase specially-marked Kellogg’s and Proctor and Gamble products to
support the nonprofit organization. For purchases of specially-marked
products during the campaign, Kellogg’s and P&G will each make a donation
of up to $50,000 to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

“This year, we have already raised $2.4 million toward our $4 million goal
for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” said Sherrii Webb, Food Lion’s
community relations manager. “We invite our customers to help us during the
next two weeks to collect an additional $1.6 million to provide critical
care to thousands in need through this important organization.”

This year marks the 22nd Annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
campaign at Food Lion stores. Food Lion has supported CMN Hospitals since
1991 and has raised more than $45 million. Donations to Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals create miracles by funding critical research and
supplementing medical care to help millions of kids overcome diseases and
injuries of every kind.
