See's Candies is introducing charity-focused chocolate collections through its first partnership with Susan G. Komen for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Available throughout October 2026, the limited-edition Pink Ribbon Box features Pink Bordeaux chocolates made with brown sugar buttercream centers, white chocolate coatings, and pink sprinkles. Priced at $20, the specially designed box incorporates breast cancer awareness imagery while offering a seasonal variation of the company's classic confectionery.
The collaboration connects See's Candies' product offerings with a broader fundraising initiative supporting breast cancer research, patient resources, and access to care. The company has pledged $25,000 and aims to raise $105,000 in recognition of its anniversary. Customers can contribute through retail locations and online donations, while employees participate in awareness walks. This approach strengthens community engagement while connecting seasonal purchases with charitable participation.
