Farm Direct Supply Partners With National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® for Breast Cancer Awareness Month; Chris Horrell and Mandy O’Neill Share
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® (NBCF), one of the leading breast cancer organizations in the world, has been helping people with the disease for over 30 years. With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up in October, now is the perfect time for Farm Direct Supply (FDS) to partner with NBCF for a new promotion.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with NBCF. This is a cause that is near and dear to our hearts and equally important to our customers as well,” said Chris Horrell, General Manager of FDS. “We are hoping our pink FDS Asparagus tags continue to keep NBCF top of mind for consumers of our asparagus and serve as a reminder of the importance of early screening.”
Beginning October 1, Farm Direct Supply will be switching out its staple purple FDS Asparagus tag to a pink tag to bring awareness to NBCF. According to a press release, NBCF is an organization committed to providing early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
Mandy O’Neill, Senior Vice President of Development at NBCF, also commented on the inspiring news.
“Many people who are affected by breast cancer experience a great amount of uncertainty, and we are committed to helping patients and caregivers along all stages of the breast cancer journey,” said O'Neill. “We are grateful to have Farm Direct Supply partner with us to help communicate the importance of screening, education, and the support services NBCF offers.”
We applaud Farm Direct Supply and the National Breast Cancer Foundation on continuing this important work.
