Heinz Ketchup is working with actress, mother and "Making Memories" author Josie Bissett on a new promotion that aims to collect 57,000 stories of "inspiring/wholesome" memories from families.

Families are being invited to share their memory stories and photos at HeinzWholesomeMemories.com.

Fifty-seven of the memories will be chosen to win a "Growing Wholesome Memories" kit that includes Bissett's book, supplies, a digital camera, a hanging tomato planter, recipes, garden tools, Heinz Ketchup, cooking utensils, and more. Site visitors are also being encouraged to download free Heinz Wholesome Memories coloring pages, which feature the artwork of the 2009 Heinz Ketchup Creativity Contest winners.

In addition, for each memory shared online, Heinz will make a donation to the National Gardening Association to help fund the creation of intergenerational gardens.--Karlene Lukovitz
