Dick Brown & the M&Ms Project Dick Brown has provided a whole new meaning to the art of collecting candy this Halloween season. He got wind that the makers of M&Ms candy had created a special package of pink and white M&Ms to support the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The mission of Komen Foundation is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment. Dick Brown went on a Halloween M&M hunt to try and locate these one-of-a-kind packages, and finally discovered that Larrys Market had a line on the candy with Associated Grocers. After a little candy-twisting, Dick, with the help of Larrys Market, snagged the entire 12-box allotment, and these M&Ms showed up on the tabletops of our breakfast meeting!! Dick warned us not to eat the M&Ms until after the meeting, and invited his fellow Rotarians to offer a minimum contribution of $5 a bag, at which the bags were quickly snatched up, and over $1,700 was raised for this worthy cause. The proceeds will be sent to the Komen Foundation in Don Deasys name. A special thanks to Larrys Market for their help in this endeavor and for selling them to us at their cost. Way to go, Dick Brown! |
