Press Release Summary: The new fall color is Pink! October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month and the Edible Arrangements store in NE Portland is “Thinking Pink”
as they make preparations locally to support the second decade of public and
professional education and awareness for breast cancer.

Press Release Body: Edible Arrangements, the leading national purveyor of
artistically designed fresh fruit arrangements, has been providing fresh fruit
arrangements in and around Portland since opening last November. This is the third
year Edible Arrangements has been supporting Breast Cancer Awareness nationally
through the company’s sponsorship of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)
(www.nationalbreastcancer.org).

Edible Arrangements will be promoting two special arrangements nationwide available
from October 1st to October 31st. The “Breast Cancer Awareness Bouquet”® features
delicious fresh strawberries hand dipped in pink chocolate and beautifully arranged
in a special breast cancer awareness keepsake ceramic container. The “Awareness
Celebration”® arrangement has pink chocolate dipped strawberries, pineapple daisies
and stars, cantaloupe, honeydew and grapes also featured in their breast cancer
awareness keepsake.

“We look forward to our role in helping The National Breast Cancer Foundation in its
mission to save lives and increase awareness” says Mr. Schloe, owner of the NE
Portland Edible Arrangements store. “This is a very important cause that all of our
locations through the U.S. are supporting, and we’re proud to be able to locally
support the efforts toward the inspirational work of the National Breast Cancer
Foundation.” This October, Edible Arrangements will donate 10 percent of sales of
these two arrangements to The National Breast Cancer Foundation.
