Colgate-Palmolive's 'Share Mom's Love' Contest to Award Funding For Summer Feeding Programs

NEW YORK, April 20. 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Colgate-Palmolive has partnered with Share Our Strength(R) to fight childhood hunger - starting with just a click of a mouse. To coincide with Mother's Day, Colgate today launched a campaign to raise awareness of childhood hunger featuring an online contest to support summer feeding programs to select cities in the U.S.
