For the fifth consecutive year Campbell’s Soup Company has partnered with the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement, and is mobilizing moms and people across the country to raise awareness for the fight against heart disease with their “AdDress Your Heart” campaign. This year NBC’s Parenthood star Monica Potter and NFL mom Deborah Johnson have partnered with Campbell’s to spread the word about the importance of heart health.
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.
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.”
Campbell offers more than 100 convenient, great-tasting products that fit into a heart-healthy lifestyle. This includes all 25 Campbell’s® Healthy Request® soups, Low Sodium V8® 100% vegetable juice and Prego® Heart Smart Italian sauces. All of these products have been screened and verified to meet the American Heart Association's certification criteria to display its heart-check mark.

I'll tell you both. My favorite soup is Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup. I lived on it when I was pregnant with my son.
My favorite juice is their V8 Fusion strawberry juice. Yum!

Mmmm my favorite of their soups is the Italian Wedding Soup! Admittedly I don't drink juice due to my diabetes.

I enjoy the Mexican-Style Chicken Tortilla soup. It has a little spice and great flavor.

My favorite is Dora Chicken noodle. I love how it brings a smile to my little girls' faces even when they are feeling under the weather.

Campbells Tomato Soup!! Will cure any case of "the blues" and warm you from the inside. Both very important in these longgg winter months. Great for a light lunch in the summer too. Low sodium V-8 with a quick snack at work keeps me going for the entire day.

I love Campbell's Soup-at-hand classic tomato and new England clam chowder. I had one or the other for lunch almost every for almost a year. They taste awesome, are quick to heat, no need for a spoon and not too many calories.
All varieties of v8 splash juice.

I love the Campbell's soup at hand. My fave is the creamy tomato and it is great for lunches on the run and way better for you than fast food.
