MEDFORD, OR--(Marketwired - Aug 22, 2013) - Harry & David announces today the 2013 Pink Pear Collection that will be available this October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the fourth consecutive year, Harry & David has partnered with the Noreen Fraser Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on advancing research, prevention and treatment of women's cancers, to raise awareness and support in the fight against women's cancers. A portion of the proceeds from the Pink Pear Collection will go to the Noreen Fraser Foundation.
Harry & David's Pink Pear Collection is made up of four charitable gourmet gifts, each with a pink twist. The collection includes Pink Truffles, Pink Moose Munch® Popcorn, the Pink Pear Gift Box and the Pink Pear Gift Basket.
