'Dur­ing the month of Oc­to­ber, Yoplait and HAD­CO do­nat­ed TT$.25 for every tub of Yoplait Yo­gurt pur­chased in the stores to the Sco­tia­bank'

For the fifth year run­ning, Yoplait was the GOLD spon­sor at the Sco­tia Bank 5k Clas­sic which took place this quar­ter, at three lo­ca­tions through­out Trinidad and To­ba­go si­mul­ta­ne­ous­ly: Queens Park Sa­van­nah PoS, Skin­ner Park, San Fer­nan­do and Store Bay To­ba­go.The race ben­e­fit­ed the Sco­tia­bank Women Against Breast Can­cer Fund. The HAD­CO fam­i­ly and friends unit­ed to­geth­er and sent a YOPLAIT TEAM which took home the tro­phy for the Largest Cor­po­rate Team. It was tru­ly a proud achieve­ment by all. In ad­di­tion, were ec­sta­t­ic to have some great male HAD­CO vol­un­teers dis­trib­ut­ing Yoplait Yo­gurt and good­ies to the crowd of over five thou­sand women. One of the high­lights of this event was our Yoplait Mur­al which was signed by many can­cer sur­vivors as well as loved ones in mem­o­ry of those lost to can­cer.

The event launched their an­nu­al Breast Can­cer Cam­paign. Dur­ing the month of Oc­to­ber, Yoplait and HAD­CO do­nat­ed TT$.25 for every tub of Yoplait Yo­gurt pur­chased in the stores to the Sco­tia­bank Women Against Breast Can­cer and Vi­tas House in sup­port of the fight against breast can­cer, as part of Yoplait's and HAD­CO's an­nu­al Save Lids to Save Lives cam­paign in Trinidad and To­ba­go. This year they proud­ly do­nat­ed $60,000TT to these foun­da­tions.Each year, Yoplait con­ducts ef­forts and al­lo­cates funds to find the cure to breast can­cer. In ad­di­tion, the brand en­cour­ages women to keep good car­dio­vas­cu­lar health, pre­vent os­teo­poro­sis and main­tain good health in gen­er­al.Sim­ple changes in eat­ing habits make a dif­fer­ence. A low-fat, high-nu­tri­ent di­et that in­cludes fi­bre, cal­ci­um, an­tiox­i­dants and vi­t­a­mins can help to re­duce the risk of de­vel­op­ing some types of can­cer and oth­er chron­ic dis­eases. Ear­ly de­tec­tion helps to save lives and ed­u­ca­tion is key.
