Kfc Promos World Hunger Awareness

(Tuesday, October 07, 2008) - KFC is drawing attention to world hunger by offering to donate $20,000 to world hunger relief efforts if anyone mentions the issue during Tuesday's nationally televised presidential debate, the company announced.

A 30-second, silent television ad will air in Nashville, Tenn., on Oct. 6 offering up the donation challenge to local viewers who may be participating in the Town Hall Presidential Debate Oct. 7 at Nashville's Belmont University. If anyone asks a question or makes a statement on-air regarding world hunger during the debate, KFC will donate $20,000 to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

KFC's offer comes as part of Yum! Brands World Hunger Relief campaign, in which KFC and fellow Yum! Brand restaurants worldwide are joining forces with the WFP to help raise funds and awareness for this cause.
