This summer, you can feel even better about picking up a sweet treat thanks to a new partnership between Ferrero USA and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
In partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Ferrero USA created limited-edition packaging for its Crunch, Butterfinger, and Baby Ruth candy bars. All of the new packaging was designed by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Champions, which are child ambassadors for the hospitals. Each design raises awareness for the charitable need of children’s hospitals across America with dreamy images of fond memories or imaginary creatures. Beyond the awareness-raising packaging, Crunch, Butterfinger, and Baby Ruth will also be donating a percentage of the retail purchase price from all participating products to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (up to $350,000) now through August 13, 2021.
