Buying a bottle of milk from a Texas-based diary will do something good to help Children's Health make life better for kids.
Volleman's Family Farm in the Comanche County town of Gustine hosts a yearly contest that lets patients at Children's Health create the design for a bottle of milk.
Judges whittled hundreds of entries down to five finalists. After all the votes were counted, the red balloon design from 11-year-old patient Citlali was the winner. Her red balloon design which is the logo for Children's Health is now featured on Volleman's Family Farm milk bottles, available in hundreds of grocery stores across Texas.
With each bottle sold, a portion of the proceeds will support Children's Health in its mission to make life better for children.
