Two Leading Snack Brands are Dippin' and Poppin' for Pink this October
Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn Partner with Susan G. Komen® to Support Breast Cancer Awareness
PADUCAH, Ky., Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn are teaming up with Susan G. Komen® for a first-ever co-brand breast cancer prevention campaign. Throughout the month of October, all Dippin' Dots, Doc Popcorn and co-branded franchise locations will be collecting donations to help fight breast cancer.
Guests at participating locations who donate $1 to Susan G. Komen will receive a $1 off coupon for use on a future purchase. For a $5 donation, guests will receive a pink breast cancer awareness wristband and a $1 off coupon. At Doc Popcorn, Pink Pop Buckets will also be available for $10, with $4 being donated to the cause.
Scott Fischer, CEO of Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn, has personal ties to this cause. When Fischer was 16, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. After standing by her side in the fight, his mother successfully beat the disease in 1999, but sadly after celebrating her 10-year cancer-free anniversary, it returned. Today, Mrs. Fischer counts herself as one of the more than 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. Thanks to organizations like Susan G. Komen, the family felt more prepared to beat the cancer when it returned. Because of the community and support they had during his mother's battle, Fischer wants to help others who have been impacted by breast cancer.
"Having our community of family and friends was very comforting during my mother's battle with breast cancer," said Fischer. "While it was deflating to have the cancer return a decade later, my family and I were more educated, comfortable and prepared the second time around. I'm passionate about supporting Susan G. Komen because they provide community, support and education to those affected by this disease."
As sister brands, Dippin' Dots, the nation's original beaded ice cream franchise, and Doc Popcorn, the world's largest popcorn franchise retailer, offer co-branded franchise opportunities, sharing the same store, counter, register and employees. There are currently 17 dual concept locations across the U.S. with more opportunities in the pipeline.
