SALINAS, CA - Honoring a long-lasting legacy, D'Arrigo California marked the 25th anniversary of its partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), generously contributing over $2.3 million to advance essential breast cancer research.
“This milestone represents so much more than a number—it’s about the lives touched by the research we help fund,” said John D’Arrigo, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board. “We are proud to stand with BCRF and all the individuals and families affected by breast cancer and are honored to play a role in advancing research that brings us closer to a cure.”
Since 1999, D'Arrigo California has funded more than 47,000 hours of groundbreaking research aimed at preventing and curing breast cancer. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the company emphasized its long-standing commitment to BCRF’s mission.
Their contributions have played a crucial role in advancing early detection methods and personalized treatments, significantly improving outcomes for those affected by the disease. According to a press release, this dedication showcases the company’s deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility and community health.
D'Arrigo California’s efforts extend beyond financial support. The company advocates for a healthy lifestyle through fresh fruits and vegetables, aligning with research that demonstrates how healthy choices can impact breast cancer incidence and recurrence. BCRF studies have indicated that a low-fat diet and weight management can reduce recurrence risk for survivors.
“As a produce company, we believe that promoting healthy eating is one of the most impactful ways we can support the health of our consumers,” continued D’Arrigo. “The research shows that a nutritious, low-fat diet, combined with regular exercise, plays a key role in lowering breast cancer risk. We are proud to provide high-quality, fresh produce that supports both prevention and long-term survivorship.”
As D'Arrigo California commemorates this significant milestone, the company looks forward to continuing its partnership with BCRF, united in the mission to find a cure and offer hope to those in need.
