Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - For the fourth consecutive year, PotashCorp is making a $100,000 contribution to Creative Kids and opening doors for more young people across the province to explore their creative pursuits.

PotashCorp made the announcement on Saturday evening at the RCMP Charity Ball Gala in support of Creative Kids at the RCMP Drill Hall in Regina. This brings the company's long-term support of the organization to $400,000.

Creative Kids is a community-based non-profit organization that assists families with costs of enrolling young people in art, drama, dance and cultural activities. With administrative funding provided by SaskCulture Inc., PotashCorp's commitment goes directly to support the creative interests of young people across the province.

"While our business helps feed the world, our company believes in nourishing the dreams of young people in our communities," said Wayne Brownlee, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our support makes it possible for more kids to participate in activities that nurture their creative interests and builds confidence and life skills that will help them throughout their lives. We are proud to be a longstanding supporter of Creative Kids."

Christie Nenson, responsible for Fund Development at Creative Kids, said PotashCorp's support continues to have a positive impact on thousands of kids across the province.

"Every year, we see young people with dreams and desires who can be a part of creative programs because of PotashCorp's support," said Nenson. "Not only do these kids learn new skills, they get to meet more kids and instructors who share their creative passion. The impact of PotashCorp's support is evident in their smiles today and will be even greater as these young people grow into the creative thinkers and innovators of tomorrow. We are grateful for PotashCorp's continuing interest in improving their lives today and for the future."

As the world's largest crop nutrient company, PotashCorp plays an integral role in global food production. The company produces the three essential nutrients required to help farmers grow healthier, more abundant crops.
