Yogurty's(R) Supports Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 29, 2014) - Yogurty's® has launched a multi-faceted campaign in partnership with and in support of one of Canada's most represented charities, The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). Among the many initiatives the company is undertaking to support CBCF, Yogurty's® has created a special flavour, Pink Velvet, for which 10% of net proceeds will be donated to the cause.

"We are proud supporters of healthy cups in more ways than one," said Yogurty's® Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Aaron Serruya.
