CAMDEN, N.J., Jun 22, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) will be honored tonight by the
American Heart Association at its annual New York City Heart Ball with
the “Mission Achievement Award.” Campbell is the first recipient of the
award, which was established to recognize an organization whose
extraordinary efforts help to advance the mission of the American Heart
Association through consumer public education and awareness, corporate
support and industry leadership in prevention.

Denise Morrison, President of Campbell North America Soup, Sauces and
Beverages, will accept the award on behalf of Campbell. “The American
Heart Association represents the gold standard for heart health

movement since 2006 and has pledged more than $3.6 million to help raise

disease and the importance of healthy eating to manage disease risk
factors.
