Carlsbad Company Donates To Breast Cancer Foundation

Carlsbad, CA - May 11, 2009: The Bwarie Gift Basket Company is taking gift giving to a new level in May with its PinkBow Promo.

For any gift basket or giftpack purchase of $50 or more made in May, the Carlsbad company will donate 10 percent of the purchase price to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in the name of the recipient.

This PinkBow Promo highlights the unique gifts that are created to order by owner Tom Bwarie, who has been creating unique custom gifts for 30 years for some of the largest companies in Southern California and around the country.

"Giving a gift that can help mothers across the country is not just for Mother's Day, but for every day in May," Bwarie said. "I know that this gesture can make the gift mean so much more. It's like two gifts for the recipient."

A card indicating a donation was made in the name of the recipient will be included in each gift so that the recipient knows the sender is not just thinking about them, but also the millions of Americans battling cancer and its impacts.

The Bwarie Gift Basket Company is no stranger to philanthropy; every year Bwarie donates his time and expertise to create baskets for dozens of auctions at schools and other nonprofits, like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, where he was recognized multiple years for his contributions.

“Tom has always been civic-minded and this new program giving 10 percent of the purchase price to support breast cancer research and services is another example of his commitment to the community,” said Ted Owen, president and chief executive officer of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. “Companies like Tom’s are what make Carlsbad unique.”

The Bwarie Gift Basket Company is located at 300 Carlsbad Village Drive, Ste. 104 in the Village Fair center in Carlsbad and also is available online at www.bwariegiftbaskets.com.
