Visteon Joins The Rosie O'Donnell Show to Honor 'Superkid'DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 22 -- Today, Visteon Automotive Systems acted upon a corporate commitment to invest in children -- and partnered with one of the country's leading child advocates to honor a special child with a bright future. The Visteon "See the possibilities(TM)" Fund was the sponsor of today's "Superkid" segment on The Rosie O'Donnell Show. The Superkid segment honors a child who has achieved something special or overcome hardships, and who has demonstrated strong morals or character along the way. Today's Superkid is Jaya Cox, a 16-year-old sophomore from Memphis, TN. As sponsor, Visteon will contribute $75,000 toward Jaya's college education. "Through the 'See the possibilities' Fund, we made a commitment to provide children with resources and opportunities to see the potential in their future," said Visteon President Craig Muhlhauser. "We are focusing on children -- our business leaders of tomorrow -- because we believe that every child has the potential to shape the future of our global community. We're especially pleased to be part of today's celebration to honor this very promising child." The Visteon "See the possibilities" Fund was created to enrich the lives of children by supporting community-based organizations and other programs that recognize the needs of children and offer sound solutions to address those needs. In addition, Visteon provides information and resources for all employees to encourage volunteer involvement with children's organizations in their communities. "Visteon has worked hard to build a company that our employees and customers can take pride in," added Muhlhauser.
