Granny Squibb has debuted a new Organic Iced Tea called ‘Porter’s Peach’ to contribute to its overall sales towards the Dana-Farber Jimmy Fund. The brand also has plans to expand into ‘Roche Bros.’ Consumers will be able to indulge in ‘Porter’s Peach’ knowing that the Granny Squibb's brand is investing in treating cancer and cancer research.
‘Porter’s Peach’ gets its name from a twelve-year-old Porter from Aquidneck Island, R.I. Porter and his family suffered multiple cancer-related losses during the year 2020, prompting him to raise $10,000 for cancer research with Granny Squibb’s charitable help.
"We know that we impact the lives of so many people right here in New England and beyond. It’s through the work of our supporters that we’re able to continue our mission of treating cancer and continuing to research and develop the latest in new treatments," said Alexa Woodward, VP of Corporate Partnerships at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
