Buying is giving<br />
<strong>Coles</strong> is donating ten cents per kg of every<br />
pumpkin sold in <strong>October</strong> to the McGrath<br />
Foundation. Buy any pumpkin at <strong>Coles</strong> to help<br />
the McGrath Foundation support Australian<br />
families experiencing breast cancer.<br />
Buy any pumpkin at <strong>Coles</strong> in <strong>October</strong> to help the McGrath<br />
Foundation but look out for the Pink Pumpkins that have<br />
been grown exclusively for <strong>Coles</strong> for the month of <strong>October</strong> in<br />
line with Australia’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They are<br />
large in size with a beautiful pink, ribbed skin and deep orange,<br />
sweet-tasting flesh. This versatile pumpkin can be used for both<br />
savoury and sweet recipes.<br />
The pumpkins were initially a chance discovery that came as<br />
an exciting surprise and which provided the growers an<br />
opportunity to grow specifically for this promotion. All the<br />
pumpkins have been grown naturally by selected growers in the<br />
rich soils of the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland,<br />
where the sunny conditions provide the ideal environment for the<br />
pumpkin to produce its beautiful pink bloom.<br />
Why not sign up to Host Your Own High Tea for the<br />
McGrath Foundation during <strong>October</strong> and serve these scones<br />
to your guests. Visit www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au<br />
