JOHANNESBURG, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine the thrill of standing beside a football star, feeling the roar of the crowds in front of millions of fans – all before turning the age of eleven. From June 11 through July 11, the McDonald's Player Escort program will give 1,408 children, ages six to 10 from 47 countries, the chance to walk hand-in-hand onto the pitch with their football heroes at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. It is just one way McDonald's supports children's well-being as an Official Sponsor and the Official Restaurant of the FIFA World Cup, as announced during a media briefing today in Johannesburg.
Remember, folks, replace "football" with "soccer."
