"While we've come a long way, this awful disease still touches too many Americans each year.  We are committed to helping Komen's life-saving work."

"I'm proud to support Susan G. Komen's worthy cause through working with Eggland's Best," said Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner.
