“Pink Ribbon Produce brings together grocery retailers, produce partners and consumers to support a cause that directly impacts one in eight women across the United States,” Debbie Augustine, chief executive officer of AugustineIdeas, the advertising and public relations company that manages Pink Ribbon Produce, said in a statement. “This program gives everyone a tangible way to make a difference, while helping to fund treatments and research for a cure.”
This is the seventh year the three retailers have run the Pink Ribbon Produce program, which coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
