Church & Dwight Announces Employee and Corporate Contributions.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Church & Dwight Employee Giving Fund, Inc., today announced that it will contribute approximately $285,000 in cash to charitable organizations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Gulf Coast region beginning this month. More than 50 different organizations will receive donations.

The company has already donated $70,000 in cash and roughly $1 million of Arm & Hammer(R) products including laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes to the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Second Harvest and other charitable organizations working in areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The Employee Giving Fund, a wholly owned subsidiary of Church & Dwight, is a workplace giving fund established earlier this year to meet the desires of employees to assist those that are less fortunate and to actively support and participate in the good works of not-for-profit organizations dedicated to that end. The Company matches employee contributions to the Employee Giving Fund dollar for dollar.

"The Employee Giving Fund allows employees to take an active role in corporate giving and the company match enables the EGF to leverage those contributions," said EGF Grants Committee Chairman Andrew C. Forsell. "Church & Dwight is pleased to support so many good causes in our area, as well as organizations engaged in relief and recovery in the Gulf Coast region."

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) manufactures and markets a wide range of personal care, household and specialty products under the ARM & HAMMER brand name and other well-known trademarks.
