Breast cancer is so scary and it effects so many people. I was told my Aunt and Grandmother had it, but it was not something that was talked about in our family. I can’t even ask them about it since they are both gone. My neighbor recently had it and kicked it to the curb. We also found out that Monkey’s kindergarten teacher and Buddy’s 3rd grade teacher battled it and won. I think one of the scariest things to me is that it could come back after you’ve had it once; that even though you beat it once it could creep back in and ruin your life again. Breast Cancer scares me, a lot! I want to grow old with my husband and I want to hold my grandchildren. I will be calling my doctor this week to see if it’s time for me to start getting mammograms because I want to be safe for my family!

I love that Haribo is supporting breast cancer causes. Breast cancer scares me, too.
My aunt had breast cancer and lost her battle several years ago.
I have not had a mammogram yet, but I will when it’s time.
I don’t go out of my way to buy a product because it has a pink ribbon, but I love it when I see a brand I already buy and use is donating. This is a great reminder, to all ages, that we need to continue to fight cancer.
I love this so much. What a great cause to bring awareness to.
I already loved Haribo, but now I REALLY love it. I’m so glad they’re working for such a great cause.
We love Haribo! So glad to see that they are supporting a good cause. I’m going to pick some up as stocking stuffers. (Yup, I started my Christmas shopping already!)
I have to get my first mammogram this year. eek! I like that Haribo is getting involved with such an important cause. I’ll be sure to look for the special bags!
That’s awesome!!! My daughters love them and it’s doubly wonderful that they are support an amazing cause .I will be sure to look for them.
So many people have to face breast cancer. i love all the company support happening – it’s truly amazing!

Cancer has unfortunately touched most peoples lives in one way or another. I am happy Haribo is supporting breast cancer causes.
I’m scheduled for my mammogram next month. My mom’s a breast cancer survivor so I take screening very seriously!
My kids love those gummy bears. My daughter missed them so much when she was vegetarian, but now that she’s not she can have them again!
What a great campaign. My friend’s mom had breast cancer (and beat it). I haven’t yet had any mammograms!
My kids love these, I remember eating them as a kid. So much fun to eat!
I like to see that companies we support are also helping important causes. We are Haribo fans at my house.

Haribo Gummi Bears are the best–hand down! And now I love them even more because they are giving back and helping fight breast cancer!
It is great to see Haribo is supporting such a worthy cause. We love gummy bears in our house.
I really trust the ingredients they put into their gummies. Haribo is a great company for so many reasons.

We love Haribo gummies! Our family in Germany used to send them to us before they were available in the states.
