Peabodys' Organic Black Rhino Coffee Links With CureBreastCancer, Inc.
Agreement Targeted at Funding the Global Fight Against Breast Cancer
ROSEVILLE, Calif., Aug. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Peabodys Coffee, Inc. (OTCBB:PBDYE), owner of the USDA-certified organic brand Black Rhino Coffee(tm), announced today that it has entered into an exclusive world-wide agreement with CureBreastCancer, Inc. (" CBC" ). CBC created and brought to fruition the U.S. Postal " Breast Cancer Research Stamp," which has raised over $50 million for breast cancer research in the U.S. Under the terms of the agreement, Black Rhino will develop co-branded packaging with CBC, and sell directly to the consumer via the Internet, with a percentage of all net proceeds going to breast cancer research.
" The best agreements are where both parties gain, and we believe we have that opportunity here," commented Todd Tkachuk, President and CEO of Peabodys. " Working with CBC, we can offer a coffee product of the highest organic integrity in a co-branded package that will be nationally recognized and sold directly to the consumer for the first time. Clearly, that will help our margins -- which enables us, in turn, to support this vitally important research work."
CureBreastCancer, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing breast health awareness and education to all women and their families. CBC is nationally recognized due to the efforts of CEO, Dr. Ernie Bodai, who led the all-volunteer, grassroots lobbying effort to create the Breast Cancer Research Postal Stamp. The U.S. Postal Service offers the 45-cent fundraising or " semipostal" stamp at every single U.S. Postal outlet in the country, online at The Postal Store, and by toll-free phone order. More information on CBC is available online at www.curebreastcancer.org .
