Through this heartfelt partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, J. Lohr has made a donation for every bottle of J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard sold. Since the program’s inception, sales from J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard releases have supported early breast cancer detection, access to mammograms, patient navigation systems, and the delivery of HOPE Kits (a gift box of comforting items) to women undergoing breast cancer treatment. These programs continue to build on a partnership that has funded over 8,000 mammograms for women who otherwise would not be able to afford them.
