Labels For EducationSMJoins The Grammy Foundation®to Support Music Education in Chicago Schools

CAMDEN, N.J., Mar. 18, 2010 - Campbell Soup Company's (NYSE: CPB)

Labels for Educationprogram, which has supported music programs in thousands of schools since its inception in 1973, joined the GRAMMY Foundation^®to bring Artist Ambassador and Contemporary Jazz Saxophonist, Mindi Abair to Alcott Elementary School in Chicago to promote the importance of music education in schools.

Abair's appearance is the first of four that will be sponsored byLabels for Educationand the GRAMMY Foundation. Each event, which will be held in select schools across the country, features a different GRAMMY Foundation Artist Ambassador sharing a personal experience of music discovery with students. Other participating Artist Ambassadors will include Kate & Kacey, Dave Koz, and Crosby Loggins. During each event, schools receive 100,000 BonusLabels for EducationPoints, which can then be used to secure additional educational equipment and resources, including musical instruments.

Research has shown that when students have access to enrichment programs including music and arts, they tend to also perform better in the classroom. Unfortunately, music programs are being eliminated at many elementary and secondary schools due to the budget pressures impacting schools across the country.

"Our partnership with the GRAMMY Foundation has enabled theLabels for Educationprogram to provide schools access to the innovative resources students need today for a well-rounded music education," said Anne Pizarro, Campbell'sLabels for EducationDirector. Through the partnership, the GRAMMY Foundation's proprietary Discovery Through Music^™curriculum will be made available to nearly 60,000 schools nationwide that are registered in this year'sLabels for Educationprogram.
