In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Eggland’s Best (EB) will be supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. From September 15th to November 15th, Eggland’s Best will be turning their distinctive red “EB” stamp into a pink “EB” alongside a Susan G. Komen for the Cure running ribbon logo. Eggland’s Best will also be pledging $50,000 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which will help expand the foundation’s mission to discover and deliver the cure for breast cancer across the globe.
Did you know that in the past year, with the help of companies including Eggland’s Best, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been able to invest an additional $75 million in research, as well as provide more than 600,000 women with free screenings and over 100,000 with treatment assistance?
What scares me though, is how many of us have had our lives touched by this disease. :( Eggland's Best sent on over some information I'd like to share with you:
Exercise may help reduce breast cancer risk. Research suggests four or more hours of exercise weekly may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, such as breast cancer – that’s just 35 minutes a day
When trimming calories, it’s important to make sure you don’t skimp on good nutrition. For only 70 calories, Eggland's Best eggs supply a perfect portion of complete protein, while providing two times more Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as 10 times more Vitamin E compared to ordinary eggs.
Preliminary evidence suggests that, as part of a healthy diet, vitamin D and choline can help to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Eggland’s Best eggs are an excellent source of these nutrients, containing double the vitamin D of ordinary eggs in addition to 25% of the daily requirement of choline.
We eat eggs on a fairly regular basis here -sometimes as part of breakfast (I make a mean taco omelet!), and often as part of my baked goods. One of our current favorite recipes, Homemade Pepperoni Bread, uses two eggs. I really do try to make sure we are eating properly in our family.
Win it! Thanks to Eggland's Best, one lucky reader will win a giveaway prize pack from Eggland's Best that includes an eco bag, plush egg, spatula and an EB coupon. To enter, I'd like to know what you think of companies like Eggland's Best partnering up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Does it make you switch brands? Buy more from that brand? Or change your opinion of a brand? And will you be on the hunt for these special eggs with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure running ribbon logo on them? I'll be checking at Fred Meyer this weekend to see if they have them in stock!

I think it is great when brands pair up with Susan G Komen and I do seek out these brands to buy them when I know they are doing. Anything to help find a cure for this horrible disease.

From someone who thinks the average egg in America looks like a pidgeon egg (!), I can attest Eggland's are our favourite brand (I do not loose my EB soft boiled egg in its cup!).
Yes, I would like to think we would make a special effort to reach out for such a brand willing to go the extra mile!
P.S. We also think of it as healthy food and do not shy from incorporating it in our daily diet!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I think its wonderful and yes I would buy them

I admire Nancy Brinker for her fundraising efforts. It's good to keep the cause in the public's eye. The pink ribbon certainly catches my eye.
I read your emails every night.
I am not sure if it would make me change brands or not

I think that companies pairing up for the Susan G Komen is a wonderful thing. It doesn't necessarily make me switch brands but I'll purchase the products if they are decently priced. Thanks.

Hi Storm
We just had a community breakfast at our community room. I put it on. I went shopping for eggs. I bought four and a half of Egglands because I saw the pink ribbon.
That is what we buy from now on.

I'm fine with it but what I don't like is when they say the company will donate only if you purchase their product. Then it's really your money being donated not the company's. If you don't make a purchase will they still give?

We pretty much only buy Eggland's Best eggs. I love the idea of buying items with the Komen logo to support breast cancer, but I'm always a little skeptical of how much actually goes to research. I still buy them because I love pink. :)

To be honest, I wouldn't necessarily switch brands, but I do think it's important for companies to partner with charitable foundations, especially those involved in research efforts like Susan G. Komen. All other things being equal, I WOULD prefer to buy from companies that give back!

I think pairing with Eggland's Best it is good publicity for the cause. However, I wouldn't switch brands because I usually purchase locally. I do think the pink stamp logo is cute, though.
I always support brands that support awareness. I think the pairing is great. Thanks for the giveaway.

It makes me think.a lot more of a brand when they do good like this! I'll be looking for the "pink" eggs!
I'm a follower!
I'm not convinced that it does a lot of good to just throw around the pink ribbon logo, so just seeing that a brand is teamed up with Komen does not impact whether I buy that brand. I do like Eggland's Best as a brand, though.
hugzeke@gmail.com
Yes I like and support companies that help do good in the world.
my opinion is that I think it is a swell idea to team up with Susan G. Komen... and I'd like to buy those products to support the cause if possible.
electricisland(at)gmail.com
I like when a company pairs up with a charitable organization, and I'm more prone to buying items from those companies - as long as there is not a great price difference. I will look for those eggs.
i usually buy egglands best anyway so yes i will be buying these and i think its awesome when companies support a good cause

I lost a grandmother to breast cancer, so I definitely look for the logo when buying products. I think it's wonderful that companies partner with charities rather than just keeping all of the profits for themselves. And thanks for the heads up, I will definitely look for these eggs!

I think it's great that they support finding a cure but I have to be honest, I buy the least expensive brand at the supermarket.
I definitely purchase products that donate to worthwhile causes. I don't have much money but I help where I can.
It makes me happy when companies participate in good causes. I have purchased the product for that reason.

It makes me think differently of a brand when I see them committed to a worthy cause. However, it does not make me more likely to purchase from that brand.
