PRESS RELEASE

Hy-Vee Sponsors Kids' Halloween Fundraiser for Hurricane Victims: "WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- What started as a 10-year-old Iowa girl's idea for helping other kids in need has blossomed into a nationwide fundraising drive with a goal of raising more than $1 million for young victims of hurricane disasters.
