but Now Over!
Summary of eRumor:
This email says that in New
York and Washington D.C., there is going to be a lot of pressure on
food banks because of the terrorist attacks. If you go to a
Cambell's Soup site, you can click an icon representing your
favorite football team and cans of soup will be donated to food
banks in the teams' cities.
The Truth:
This is an authentic fund-raising project, but check on the site to
see whether it is current. The first project reached the goal
of 5 million cans and was brought to an end. Then a new
project was launched.
Some versions of the eRumor said that this project was specifically for the victims of the terrorist attacks, but that
was not quite accurate.
The site is called "Click for Cans," and up to 5 million
cans of Campbell's "chunky" soups were donated to food
banks in the cities of various NFL football teams.
5,500,000 cans of Campbell's® soups were donated!
A real example of the story as it has
