I’m always buying gum.  I like to keep a pack in my purse to freshen my breath or tide me over until my next meal.

During the month of October, ten percent of the sales of the purchase of Bubblemint flavored Orbit White gum will be donated to support Bright Pink’s mission to help women to proactively take control of their health via education, support and community development for those at risk.

The unique on-pack promotion is designed to help fund Bright Pink’s awareness programs and will be available on a limited-edition 60-count Big-E-Pak® dressed in Bright Pink graphics and featuring www.bebrightpink.org.

If you are going to buy a pack of gum, why not buy one that supports a great cause!
