October 7, 2009 – Boise, ID – In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Albertsons is partnering with General Mills to support breast cancer research organizations – and giving customers some great deals on items they purchase every day.

From October 7th – 13th, Albertsons stores will feature the “Pink Together Event” in support of breast cancer awareness.  When customers buy 6 participating General Mills products, they will instantly save $3 off their purchase. In addition to saving customers money, Albertsons will also be raising funds for local breast cancer research organizations for the entire month of October. Customers can donate $1, $3 or $5 to support finding a cure as they’re checking out with their grocery order. All funds raised will go straight back to local organizations that are working toward breast cancer research. General Mills will also donate $2 million nationally to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.
