NEW YORK, NY (NYSE: UN), one of the world's largest consumer
products companies, proudly announced today that on Saturday, May
17th more than 500 registered Unilever volunteers and local
community members are expected to participate in a volunteer day on
Statue of Liberty National Monument - Ellis Island with activities
on Ellis and Liberty Islands. As part of the 21-event National
Parks America Tour, this is the fourth consecutive year that the
Tour and Unilever employees will be participating in a full day of
community service at the site.
The tour -- sponsored by Unilever, in cooperation with Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc., the National Park Foundation and Take Pride in
America -- engages Unilever employees and citizens of all ages,
including local Boys & Girls Clubs, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and
local high school students in volunteer "service-to-the-land"
projects to help protect and preserve America's National Parks. The
Ellis and Liberty Island activities will include park
beautification, infrastructure enhancements, and overall park
maintenance.
"Unilever is thrilled to return to historic Ellis Island, which
continues to be a touchstone in so many of our families' history
and lives," said Kevin Havelock, president, Unilever U.S. "Our
employees continue to make a measurable difference in the community
by supporting local organizations in communities where we live and
work."
The day will conclude with The Great American Picnic, a lunch
hosted by several Unilever brands.
The event is open to volunteers of all ages who want to
revitalize one of America's National Parks. To register, please

Since 1999, the National Parks America Tour, led by Unilever,
has donated more than 280,000 volunteer manpower hours to the
National Park Service resulting in an in-kind donation of $4.75
million.
