Edible Arrangements of Portland Oregon "Thinks Pink" for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The new fall color is Pink. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Edible Arrangements store in NE Portland is “Thinking Pink” as they make preparations locally to support the second decade of public and professional education and awareness for breast cancer.

Portland, OR, October 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Edible Arrangements, the leading national purveyor of artistically designed fresh fruit arrangements, has been providing fresh fruit arrangements in and around Portland since opening last November. This is the third year Edible Arrangements has been supporting Breast Cancer Awareness nationally through the company’s sponsorship of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) (www.nationalbreastcancer.org).

Edible Arrangements will be promoting two special arrangements nationwide available from October 1st to October 31st. The “Breast Cancer Awareness Bouquet”® features delicious fresh strawberries hand dipped in pink chocolate and beautifully arranged in a special breast cancer awareness keepsake ceramic container. The “Awareness Celebration”® arrangement has pink chocolate dipped strawberries, pineapple daisies and stars, cantaloupe, honeydew and grapes also featured in their breast cancer awareness keepsake.

“We look forward to our role in helping The National Breast Cancer Foundation in its mission to save lives and increase awareness” says Mr. Schloe, owner of the NE Portland Edible Arrangements store. “This is a very important cause that all of our locations through the U.S. are supporting, and we’re proud to be able to locally support the efforts toward the inspirational work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.” This October, Edible Arrangements will donate 10 percent of sales of these two arrangements to The National Breast Cancer Foundation.
