One of the planet's sweetest treats has been called a cure for pain, heart disease and now breast cancer.
Until Oct. 21, Rogers Chocolates, Thrifty Foods and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's B.C./Yukon Region have collaborated on a chocolate-covered cure.
All proceeds from Rogers Pick Ribbon Raspberry Swirl Chocolate Cream will go toward breast cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, research and emerging issues in healthcare.
The treats are available at 21 Thrifty Foods locations on the Island and Lower Mainland.
"We are grateful for their support as we begin to implement our plan and see an end to breast cancer by 2020," the cancer foundation's chair Greg D'Avignon said.
For more information, please contact the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Vancouver Island office at 250-384-3328 or visit www.cbcfbc.org.
