This October, foodpanda is supporting Breast Cancer Foundation to advocate for Breast Cancer Awareness Month by partnering with three restaurants, Clan 7TM️, COLLIN’S®, and Saveur Thai®, to offer limited-edition pink dishes. For every purchase of the pink dish, $1 will be donated to Breast Cancer Foundation to support those who are affected by breast cancer.

The pandemic has spurred people to be more health conscious and accountable for their health. However, there is little awareness that breast cancer remains the number 1 killer cancer among women in Singapore or that conducting regular Breast Self-Examinations (BSE) can help detect breast cancer early.
Where there is awareness, uncertainty as to how to conduct these checks are reasons that rank high on why women do not do these vital checks on their own.
To encourage conversations on this important subject, foodpanda has joined hands with three restaurants under Iron Chef F&B Pte Ltd, namely Clan 7TM️, COLLIN’S®, and Saveur Thai®, to offer limited-edition, pink-themed dishes, which will only be exclusively available for delivery orders on the platform.
The dishes will be available for the whole month of October, and for every order of any of these three dishes on foodpanda, $1 will be donated to BCF in support of its continuous efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.

- COLLIN’S® delicious Grilled Chicken Salad drizzled with Beetroot Yoghurt – a delectable chicken salad served with chopped romaine, freshly diced strawberries, and green apples, tied together with a creamy beetroot yoghurt dressing ($10.80)

To further raise awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness month, foodpanda will also be putting together pink self-care kits that will be distributed via giveaways on social media.
The pink self-care kits include limited-edition tumblers, masks, reusable metal straws and stress balls in foodpanda and breast cancer awareness’ iconic pink colour.
It also includes a book featuring the inspiring stories of young women breast cancer survivors in Singapore. Customers can also keep a lookout on foodpanda’s social media pages to learn more about the importance of BSE, self-care, and the myths about breast cancer.

“We are deeply appreciative to both foodpanda and Iron Chef F&B Pte Ltd for their efforts in supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Breast cancer does not discriminate. 1 in 13 women will get it during her lifetime, with 1 in 6 of them below the age of 40. We urge all women to take charge of their breast health. Women below 40 should do their monthly Breast Self-Examination and for those above 40, should go for mammograms. We are grateful to our community for stepping up to share this important message to as many women as possible.” said Ms Staphnie Tang, President, Breast Cancer Foundation.
Laura Kantor, Marketing Director at foodpanda Singapore says: “The occurence of breast cancer is more common than we think, and more needs to be done to raise awareness on this very important topic. We are thrilled to be able to tap on the familiarity of our iconic pink to talk about and contribute to supporting conversations on breast cancer, and hope that through this partnership, our customers will be more motivated to make healthier choices, prioritise self-care and pay closer attention to their wellbeing.”
