The co-branded "A Super Good Cause" campaign, meant to drive consumer awareness around the most common cancer among women in the U.S.¹, will be available nationwide throughout National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. By raising awareness, the brand hopes to support Susan G. Komen's mission: to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. With one in eight women in the U.S. experiencing a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime², this is a cause that impacts many avocado shoppers — who are 74% female³ — around the world.

"Our partnership with Susan G. Komen matters so much to Avocados From Mexico. It's the perfect opportunity to showcase our always good avocados at retail through our pink packaging and in-store displays to build shopper support for this meaningful cause," shared Stephanie Bazan, Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy and Execution at Avocados From Mexico.

Healthy eating patterns, including consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables, and unsaturated fats, are associated with better health outcomes, and avocados are a fruit that contributes 6 grams of unsaturated fats⁵ and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.⁴

"As we continue to show up for patients with such a powerful mission in mind, it's an honor to have the continued support of Avocados From Mexico," said Sarah Rosales, Senior Vice President, Corporate Partnerships at Susan G. Komen. "Throughout the years, the brand has done an incredible job raising awareness, sharing key health messages, and directing consumers to the resources they need to stay informed about their health and make beneficial nutritional decisions."

Through this partnership, the brand is continuing to connect with its passionate and purpose-driven consumer base. In fact, 86% of consumers are likely to purchase from purpose-driven companies supporting a cause⁶, showing how instrumental it is for Avocados From Mexico to meet consumers exactly where they are.
