As part of the fifth consecutive year of the company's signature "AdDress Your Heart" campaign, Campbell reinforced its commitment to heart health by teaming up with Monica Potter, star of NBC's Parenthood, and NFL Mom Deborah Johnson, mother of defensive end Jay Richardson, both of whom walked the red carpet in Campbell red dresses and talked about their motivation to raise awareness for heart disease, the number one killer of women.

"I am proud to be a part of Campbell's 'AdDress Your Heart' campaign and wear this red dress to help raise awareness of the cause and honor my father who I lost to heart disease," said Potter. "I hope to rally moms and everyone across the country to stand up and fight this disease by choosing heart-healthy foods, exercising and helping me spread the message that heart disease is preventable."

Potter and Johnson have shared their heart-health stories on video at CampbellsAdDressYourHeart.com and are asking others to address their hearts. For every video view through March 31, 2011, Campbell will donate $1 to the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement, up to $625,000. This is part of the overall $3.6 million donation Campbell has committed to the organization by 2012.

Recognized for Heart Health

At the Woman's Day Red Dress Awards, Campbell's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Denise Morrison was among those recognized for their contributions to the cause. Morrison received the "Healthy Heart" award as a tribute to an inspiring woman who has worked tirelessly to aid the fight against cardiac disease and promote heart health and nutrition.

"This is our fifth year supporting the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement and we are proud that our 'AdDress Your Heart' campaign helps people to learn more about ways to lead a heart-healthy lifestyle," said Morrison. "At Campbell, we are dedicated to making delicious, heart-healthy products, and we will continue our mission to help people eat and live better."
