Chances are, you probably know someone who has been affected by breast cancer.   It’s the most common form of cancer among women behind lung cancer. 

This October, the Cottonelle brand is partnering with Kroger to show support and raise breast cancer awareness through the Giving Hope a Hand® initiative. Through Giving Hope a Hand®, Cottonelle brand and additional partner companies will assist Kroger in raising $3 million for breast cancer awareness, treatment and research in the communities we share.

In an effort to raise breast cancer awareness, the Cottonelle brand will be offering pink toilet paper roll covers for a limited time. From September 25-October 8, you can visit Kroger to purchase specially marked packages of Cottonelle Clean Care, Cottonelle’s most care-worthy toilet paper yet, and receive a printout with instructions on how to redeem a free pink toilet paper roll cover.
