The series

of contributions is the largest amount ever donated as a result of the

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in a single year. The bowl has been disbursing

money to selected charitable organizations since 1997.

"Since

we began our relationship with the bowl in 1996, we have been thrilled

with how it has grown," said Steve Robinson, senior vice president

of marketing for Chick-fil-A Inc.

"Especially

gratifying is the increasing amount of funds we are able to give to education

and youth-supported initiatives," he added.

a long-term foster care program, received $100,000. Children's Healthcare

of Atlanta and Camp Twin Lakes each received $35,000 as a result of the

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Classic for Kids a men's basketball doubleheader
