Local Student is a Drumstick Hero

Seventeen-year-old Aubrey McGrath, from Charlotte, NC, was selected
from hundreds of children and youth across the nation nominated for
their good deeds in the Nestlé® Drumstick® Brand Heroes Contest.
Aubrey is one of 50 winners to be honored throughout the summer.

Aubrey will receive the ultimate summer celebration, complete with
enough Nestlé Drumstick sundae cones and a fun-filled party package to
host an unforgettable event for up to 50 family and friends.

"The caliber of the entries for this contest impressed the judges,"
said Jane Hsieh, Associate Brand Manager for the Nestlé Drumstick
brand. "We are delighted to recognize these special young people who
are truly making a difference in their communities."

Aubrey is being recognized for organizing the neighborhood Food Pantry
Co-Op in 2009 with his mother, Merrie. The Food Pantry Co-Op
encourages neighbors to purchase groceries for donation to a local
food pantry. Aubrey and his mom pick up the donations and deliver them
to a local food pantry. Thanks to Aubrey's efforts, over 50 families
are participating in the Food Pantry Co-Op.

Entries to the Drumstick Heroes contest were judged on the child's
individual accomplishments as well as the originality and creativity
used to achieve his/her goals. The Nestlé Drumstick brand team will
honor a total of 50 Drumstick Heroes through September 15, 2010.
