Several Retailers to Carry Campbells Pink-and-White Cans This Year
Sep 12, 2007 6:00 AM, By JULIE GALLAGHER
CAMDEN, N.J. Fourteen million limited-edition pink-and-white Campbells Soup cans will grace the shelves of 15,000 stores in October as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Campbells first replaced its iconic red-and-white labels on 7 million cans of its fastest-moving soup varieties condensed chicken noodle and tomato as part of an exclusive promotion forged with 2,500 Kroger stores last year. Campbells contributed a flat $250,000 through Kroger to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, as part of the deal. This years promotion involves several additional retailers. Basically, well distribute these cans to any retailer willing to partake by ordering cans by the pallet, Campbells spokesman John Faulkner told SN. It gives us an opportunity to show support and drive awareness and make a contribution to a worthy organization. Although there is no link between individual sales of pink-and-white cans and charitable contributions made by Campbells, the manufacturer plans to donate a total of $300,000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and breastcancer.org.
