As you may have heard, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. In 2009, the American Cancer Society estimates that 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the United States.
So, why is this a topic of conversation here at Anything Goes Gourmet? Because Mars, the world’s leading candy company, has continued it’s 5 year partnership with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure by donating 10% of all purchases of the “Promise Blend” with a commitment to donate a minimum of $850,000 to Susan G. Komen in 2009.
Okay, I admit – M&M’s aren’t the first thing I think of when I think of gourmet chocolate. But be honest – don’t you just love these tasty reminders of our childhood every once in a awhile? The Promise Blend is a great way to show your support in the fight against breast cancer. This special blend of Dark Pink and White M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candy is pre-printed with the “Ribbon” logo and a “for the CURE” message. Available in either a 7oz bag or 1.75oz Gift Favor with Pink Ribbon. Either way, it’s a sweet and simple way to help put an end to breast cancer.
Promise Blend M&M’s are available in some retail locations, but sell out quickly. You get the largest selection and guaranteed delivery by ordering them online at Mars.com. But we want to make this even sweeter for you. How cool is this: Use this link to get 12% OFF your purchase of M&M’S Promise Blend benefiting Susan G. Komen. Spread the hope and support a great cause.
