SAN ANTONIO – NatureSweet® Tomatoes (NatureSweet.com) is proud to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month through its fourth annual partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The Komen Foundation’s mission to create a world without breast cancer is especially resonant with NatureSweet as it mirrors the company’s belief in reaping what you sow.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and admire its strong, singular focus on changing the world,” said Michael Joergensen, vice president of marketing. “At NatureSweet, we believe that you get out of something what you put into it – from our tomato seeds to our associates. We have witnessed great investments lead to great rewards and view our partnership with Komen in the same regard.”
NatureSweet is dedicated to contributing to prevention and the search for a cure, content in the knowledge that through these initiatives, future generations will reap the benefits that today’s cancer research yields. This year, the company’s ongoing partnership with the foundation includes limited-edition PINK packaging for its Glorys® tomatoes, a $100,000 donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation toward its mission to save lives and end breast cancer, and free breast cancer screenings for NatureSweet associates. Since 2012, the company has donated $255,000 to aid in the search for the cure.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation is an organization and a cause that is near and dear to the hearts of NatureSweet and its associates, many of whom have been affected by breast cancer and are gratified by the company’s commitment to offering free screenings and making a donation to find a cure.
“Breast cancer does not discriminate, affecting too many families including some of our own. We stand firmly committed to supporting the foundation and its cause to find a cure,” Joergensen added.
