ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., July 28 /EMWNews/ -- Unilever, one of the

world's largest consumer products companies and a Proud Partner of

America's National Parks, in partnership with the National Park Foundation

(NPF), the official national charitable partner of the National Park

Service, today announced a program to encourage consumers to visit national

parks this summer and to raise $100,000 for the National Park Foundation

through matching consumer contributions. For each consumer contribution

over $15, Unilever will send the donor an eco-friendly tote bag* and up to

$20 in Unilever coupon savings in appreciation of their gift.



    Unilever is the longest standing partner of the National Park

Foundation. Unilever's commitment to environmental sustainability is

central to its support of America's National Parks. As part of its

commitment to the parks, Unilever supports sustainable solutions to

infrastructure needs, education for youth on environmental sustainability,

and volunteer activities to protect the parks for future generations.



    "As the national charitable partner for our parks, the National Park

Foundation believes that it is essential to continue the rich tradition in

which the parks were founded and have been sustained -- public and private

interests working in tandem," said Vin Cipolla, president and CEO, National

Park Foundation. "We are privileged to stand together with charitable

partners like Unilever to support projects that help ensure America's 391

national parks remain vital and relevant for the next century."
