Better Made Snack Foods Promotion 
 

During the month of October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a portion of the proceeds from Better Made Family Size and Value Size Potato Chips sold were donated to the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute for breast cancer research and awareness programs. Better Made had tremendous success with their first-time fundraiser, generating close to $13,000! A big THANK YOU to Better Made and everyone who purchased their products throughout October.
