American Heart Association Volunteers to Educate Women About Heart Disease at Albertsons Stores Nationwide, Nov. 5; Dallas/Ft. Worth Albertsons Stores, Procter & Gamble to Support AHA's Go Red For Women Campaign

Business Wire, Nov 4, 2005

WHO/WHAT:  Volunteers and health educators from the American Heart
           Association (AHA) will fan out to Albertsons supermarkets
           throughout the nation -- including those in the Dallas/Ft.
           Worth area -- to distribute Go Red for Women pins, answer
           questions about the AHA and remind consumers that heart
           disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States.
           Albertsons store pharmacists will also be available to
           address heart-related questions from consumers.

           To support the AHA's Go Red For Women education campaign,
           Procter & Gamble will also donate $1 to the nonprofit every
           time consumers purchase three selected P&G products at
           Albertsons through the end of November. Both companies hope
           to generate up to $50,000 for the AHA and boost awareness
           of heart disease in women.

WHEN:      Saturday, Nov. 5, 2005

WHERE:     Dallas/Ft. Worth-area Albertson stores

WHY:       The American Heart Association launched the Go Red For
           Women campaign in February 2004 to raise awareness that
           heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women in the U.S.
           Since 1924, the AHA has helped protect people of all ages
           and ethnicities from the ravages of cardiovascular disease
           and stroke, the nation's No. 1 and No. 3 killers, which
           claim more than 927,000 Americans a year.
