Georgia Cancer Foundation, Whole Foods Market Team Up to Fight Cancer
Sandy Springs Whole Foods to Donate 5% of August 30 Sales
The Georgia Cancer Foundation (GCF) recently announced that the Whole Foods Market in Sandy Springs selected them as the recipient of their “5% Day” on August 30.
Four times a year, Whole Foods Market contributes 5% of one day’s sales to a deserving non-profit organization.
So on Thursday, August 30, head to the Sandy Springs Whole Foods Market (5930 Roswell Road, Atlanta, 30328) for your organic goods and 5% of your purchase will be contributed to a wonderful cause.
Rudy Morgan, Executive Director of GCF, said he is thrilled with the newly formed partnership.
“Many organizations apply for this program, but obviously only a few can benefit,” said Morgan. “We are grateful to Whole Foods Market for stepping up and getting involved in Georgia’s effort to curb and eradicate cancer.”
