Colgate-Palmolive Awards Starlight Fun Center to Charlotte's Levine Children's Hospital

Colgate-Palmolive has awarded a Starlight Fun Center™ to Charlotte's
Levine Children's Hospital as part of its annual "Show the Love"
online challenge – an interactive campaign that engages the public in
awarding Starlight Fun Centers™ to children's hospitals throughout the
country.

Starlight Fun Center™ mobile entertainment units feature a Sharp
AQUOS™ LCD TV, DVD player and Nintendo Wii™ gaming system to provide
hours of fun and distraction to pediatric patients and their families.

treatments or fighting loneliness after hospital visiting hours have
ended, Starlight Fun Centers™ provide a comforting break.

Foundation, Colgate expanded this year's "Show the Love" online
challenge. In addition to awarding one Starlight Fun Center™ to each
