News Release: Four Wineries Raise Funds for the BC/Yukon Chapter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for the Second Consecutive Year Vancouver, BC (October 16, 2006) For the second year, Goundrey, Hogue, Kumala and R.H. Phillips wineries are joining forces to help generate awareness about breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer research and education. During the Think Pink – Making a Difference promotion in the month of November, $1.00 from every bottle of Goundrey, Hogue, Kumala and R.H. Phillips wine sold in British Columbia will be donated to the BC Chapter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The four wineries raised $17,354 during November 2005 through the Think Pink – Making a Difference wine fund-raising program. This year the goal is to raise $30,000. While donations are made from the sale of all wines from participating wineries, four special wines will be featured on display at select BC Liquor Stores during November: Goundrey Unwooded Chardonnay 2005 ($12.99 CSPC # 60889), Hogue Pinot Grigio 2004 ($12.79 CSPC # 624486), Kumala Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2005 ($9.69 CSPC# 606657) and R.H. Phillips Shiraz 2002 ($12.99 CSPC# 576272). The public are invited to the 39th and Cambie Signature Liquor Store on Sunday November 5th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm to learn more from a Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation representative, and to sample a free taste of the four feature wines. “While great strides have been made in recent years to create broader public awareness and effective treatment, there is still much work to be done before we can ensure a future without breast cancer,” notes winery spokesperson Danielle Giroux. “Breast cancer is a disease that affects many Canadians and their families and is something that has touched most of us. The most important aspect of this promotion is the awareness that is generates. Our promotion,“ she continues, “is the only breast cancer awareness event taking place in BC Liquor Stores, so we hope it will reach a new audience.” The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, BC/Yukon Chapter actively works across the province in the areas of the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of breast cancer. In British Columbia an estimated 2,700 women will develop breast cancer in 2006 and over 630 will die of the disease.
