WESTPORT, Conn. (Sept. 24, 2009) — Frigidaire today announced that it is partnering with actress and philanthropist, Jennifer Garner, to launch the 'Make Time for CHANGE' campaign to support Save the Children's U.S. Programs. Garner and Frigidaire are asking moms — and everyone who believes in the power of moms — to use the time they get when they turn the clocks back on Nov. 1 to make CHANGE for children.

"I am proud to be the ambassador for the Frigidaire 'Make Time for CHANGE' campaign" says Garner.

Save the Children created the CHANGE program (Creating Healthy, Active, and Nurturing Growing-up Environments) to promote healthier lifestyles for children living in poverty by providing nutritious snacks and regular opportunities for children to be physically active.

"It's important that children develop healthy eating and exercise habits early on, but often children living in poverty don't have access to healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables or chances to get enough exercise," said Mark Shriver, managing director of Save the Children's U.S. Programs. "Our CHANGE program is working to help at-risk children live healthier lives and our efforts are made even stronger because of Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner's commitment." 

Starting today, for everyone who goes to www.Frigidaire.com and raises their hand with a pledge to make time for a child, Frigidaire will donate $1* to support CHANGE and Save the Children's work to help children in need in the U.S., as part of a $250,000 commitment. 

"I am proud to be the ambassador for the Frigidaire 'Make Time for CHANGE' campaign to help give the littlest Americans the best start possible," said Garner. "There is nothing more important to our future than protecting theirs."

Additionally, for every new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven purchased, Frigidaire will donate $100 to Save the Children's U.S. Programs.**

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Jennifer Garner on this important campaign with Save the Children," said Marty O'Gorman, general manager, Frigidaire. "Frigidaire is committed to supporting healthy eating for all American families." 

* Frigidaire will donate $1 for every pledge made with a minimum of $45,000 to maximum of $50,000.
** Frigidaire will donate $100 for every Frigidaire Professional double wall oven purchased from 10/4/09 to 12/31/09 up to a maximum of $100,000 to Save the Children.
