During the company's “Who Do You Pink For?” promotion this year, United Supermarkets, Market Street and Amigos store locations together raised almost $18,000 for the fight against breast cancer.
The funds raised during the promotion will be donated to local chapters of the American Cancer Society. For the month of October, guests were able to help raise money for the cause by purchasing pink reusable bags for $1.99 each. During the promotion $1 from each sale also went to the American Cancer Society. On the company's Facebook page guests could indicate who they “are pink for” by sharing their breast cancer story. United Supermarkets, LLC, committed to making a $5 donation for each story toward breast cancer research and awareness, according to a press release.
“At United, we are always motivated to help raise awareness and funds together with our partners and guests for a great cause,” said Shelby Crews, Community Relations Manager for United Supermarkets, LLC. ”We thank our guests who helped us raise more than three times the amount we raised last year toward the fight against breast cancer.”
Guests could also purchase specially marked products in which grocery partners agreed to donate a percentage of those sales to support breast cancer research and awareness.
