BI-LO encouraging shoppers to donate

With national Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming in just a couple of weeks, BI-LO Charities is inviting members of the community to join them in support for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.

Shoppers can help support the Susan G. Komen cause to promote breast cancer awareness and research initiatives by donating one dollar at the checkout counter of any BI-LO store.

BI-LO is the only supermarket in the Southeast that will be offering customers the opportunity to donate to Susan G. Komen using a scan card at the checkout counter. From Wednesday, Oct. 7 through Tuesday, Nov. 3 shoppers will have a quick, easy way to donate to this worthy cause just by adding an extra dollar to their grocery bill.

Along with the scan cards, BI-LO’s weekly ads will feature products from vendors that support Susan G. Komen so shoppers can save money on products found at BI-LO while continuing their support of breast cancer awareness and research.

“The Susan G. Komen organization has made a major contribution to the awareness and research dollars for the cure of breast cancer,” said Carol Browning, executive director of BI-LO Charities.
