NEW YORK – Cello Whisps, the gluten-free, high-protein snack brand from leading Italian cheese company Schuman Cheese, was a proud sponsor of this year’s AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer New York. The event was held on October 15-16, spanning 39.3 miles. By stepping up to the AVON 39 challenge and serving as a walk sponsor, the company distributed Cello Whisps at the finish line, promoted overall health and wellness and helped local and national beneficiaries advance breast cancer research.

“At Schuman Cheese, we have a company-wide Pink Day where employees are encouraged to wear pink to support Breast Cancer awareness,” said Ilana Fischer Vice President, Innovation & Strategy at Schuman Cheese. “Our decision to take part in the 2016 AVON 39 New York demonstrates our values in action as we join together to have a lasting impact on the communities where we live and work.”

Schuman Cheese’s aforementioned Pink Day also provided the opportunity for employees to raise vital funds to advance cures and discoveries and really make a significant difference in people’s lives. In addition, the company hosts onsite education throughout the month of October to help drive awareness of the disease among employees.

“We are proud to announce our partnership with AVON 39, support research, and drive awareness for residents of the towns where we have offices and facilities,” Fischer continued.
