BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH KICKS OFF IN OREGON WITH PINK ICE CREAM
Umpqua Dairy’s pink ice cream is officially on sale with a percentage of all sales being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Today the company launches Huckleberry Cheesecake ice cream in hundreds of grocery stores throughout the Northwest.
“Last month we were honored to present a check for almost $10,000 to Susan G. Komen based on last year’s sales,” says Steve Feldkamp, Umpqua Dairy’s Chief Operating Officer. “We hope to raise even more money for this important cause this year.”
Umpqua Dairy thru a partnership with the Susan G. Komen Fountation developed a pink packaging design and the special October flavor. The limited time flavor is available in most Safeway, Albertson’s, Fred Meyer, WinCo and Walmart locations in Oregon, along with hundreds of independent stores.
This year Umpqua Dairy is also helping people impacted by breast cancer. Nominations can be made at UmpquaDairy.com on the ‘Share Your Story’ tab. One person per week will be selected to receive free groceries.
“We’ve been fortunate to serve the area since 1931,” says Feldkamp. “It was important to my Grandfather that we support the people and communities who support us. That tradition continues to this day at Umpqua Dairy.”
Huckleberry Cheesecake ice cream features milk that’s 100% from Oregon cows. The product is exclusively manufactured at Umpqua Dairy’s headquarters in Roseburg.
