SALINAS, CA - October has arrived, bringing not only new seasons of fresh produce offerings and cool fall weather but also national efforts to support breast cancer research. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off, D’Arrigo California is reaffirming its dedication to helping find a cure through its ongoing partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

“The synergy that exists between D’Arrigo California and the BCRF is tremendous, which is why we felt compelled to support the work they do in the field of cancer research,” stated John D’Arrigo, President and Chief Executive Officer of D’Arrigo California. “We have proudly supported BCRF for over two decades and are more committed now than ever to continue to provide support and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer.”

D’Arrgio California began its alliance with BCRF back in 1999, according to a release from the company, and to date has donated $2 million to fund over 42,000 hours of cancer research. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and as the number grows, D’Arrigo’s commitment to supporting BCRF becomes even more important.

To understand more about what the company is doing to advance breast cancer research, D’Arrigo California will be hosting a Zoom webinar on Thursday, October 14 at 11:30 a.m. PST. The webinar will last 15 minutes and will feature panelists including John D’Arrigo; Myra Biblowit, BCRF President and Chief Executive Officer; and Dr. Dorraya El-Ashry, BCRF Chief Scientific Officer. Together, the panelists will highlight the correlation between healthy eating and prevention, what BCRF is doing to drive cancer breakthroughs, and how D’Arrigo has been a long-time funder behind the organization.

“Our gratitude runs deep for D’Arrigo’s longstanding partnership,” said Biblowit. “BCRF could not do what we do—save lives—without support from dedicated partners, and we are proud to be featured on Andy Boy^® produce on shelves and in homes around the country. Have no doubt that by partnering with the largest private funders of breast cancer research in the world, D’Arrigo is making a genuine and tangible impact on propelling research forward, faster.”

In addition to the webinar, D’Arrigo California is showing its support through its packaging and cartons of Andy Boy products found in grocery stores and restaurants around the globe. On each package, consumers will find a pink ribbon with the words “PROUD SUPPORTER OF BCRF” emblazoned on the front, just one of the ways the company is helping raise awareness.

Cheers to D’Arrigo California as the company continues to use its success in the industry to back valuable causes like breast cancer research.
