This baby was born less than two months ago and already has nice-sized college fund, thanks to KFC.
The chicken chain announced on Tuesday that they have found a winner for their Baby Harland Naming Contest. Harland Rose, named after KFC’s founder Colonel Harland David Sanders, was born 8 lbs. 1 oz. on September 9. Her parents were awarded the $11,000 prize money to go towards their baby’s tuition.
The contest—which asked families to name their child born on Sept. 9 (the Colonel’s birthday) after the founder—was started when the chain discovered that the name Harland was not as popular as it once was. KFC was worried that the Colonel’s name would diminish, so they asked new parents to consider bringing it back.
