Caring Causes: Sparkling ICE/Breast Cancer

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Sparkling ICE, the fastest-growing, non-alcoholic beverage brand in the U.S., is on a mission to “Imagine a World without Breast Cancer” – and from October 1-31^st Sparkling ICE donates 1¢ per bottle of its Pink Grapefruit Sparkling ICE to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. Best of all, proceeds go directly back to the community where the product was sold. By working closely with each community, Sparkling ICE allows them to select the charity right in their region that they would most like to offer the donations to (i.e. Susan G. Komen Affiliates, Local/Regional Breast Cancer Research Foundations, etc.)

Sparkling ICE, a beverage of Talking Rain Company, is also a Susan G. Komen Puget Sound Affiliate Promise Partner, the highest tier of recognition awarded to corporations, foundations, and 3^rd party fundraising organizations/events that provide exceptional financial or in-kind resources throughout the year to the Komen Puget Sound Affiliate.

Additionally, Sparkling ICE has created a specialty “Sip Pink for the Cure” Cocktail using its Pink Grapefruit Sparkling ICE flavor.
