    PRESS RELEASE

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    MUSHROOMS PAINT THE TOWN PINK

    FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTHMinistry of Mushrooms, Inc. once again leads a collaborative movement

    with the countrys favorite food establishments to spread awareness about

    mushrooms and breast cancer.

    MANILA, Philippines - 24 September 2013:October 2013 marks the 1st yearAnniversary ofMushrooms Go Pink PH Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.

    Last year Ministry of Mushrooms, Inc. collaborated with thirty well-lauded

    restaurants and food brands around Metro Manila and the surrounding areas to

    create and serve dishes with locally grown oyster mushrooms to help raise food

    awareness for cancer prevention while raining funds for the ICanServeFoundation.

    We at Ministry of Mushrooms, Inc. are all about giving back through mushrooms,

    and joining the fight against the worlds leading killer of women, breast cancer, is

    one very important way we do, shares Ministry of Mushroom, Inc. president Marco

    Lobregat.

    Mushrooms have long been regarded as one of nature's super-foods. They are one of

    few the natural food sources of Vitamin D and other key nutrients such as Vitamin

    B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin) B3 (Niacin) plus selenium and potassium while

    remaining low in calories and mostly fat and cholesterol free. Mushrooms contain

    natural substances such as polysaccharides, which stimulate the body's immune

    system to fight off infection during times of stress.

    Today, mushrooms are the main focus of many ongoing scientific studies as there is

    strong evidence that some properties may ultimately lead to breast cancer

    prevention and elimination.

    Through the campaign we hope to see the city filled with mushrooms to remind us

    that the food we cherish can also be what saves our lives and the lives of those who

    we love around us.

    Last year the dishes for campaign revolved around locally grown fresh oyster

    mushrooms. This year the edible representations become more exciting as restaurants

    can use other locally grown mushrooms now supplied by Ministry of Mushrooms, Inc.

    (Fresh Oyster, Abalone, Fresh Wood Ear Mushrooms and Milky Mushrooms).

    10% of the cost of each special dish with mushrooms purchased will be donated to

    ICANServe Foundation through the Mushrooms Go Pink PH campaign.

    Over 50 of your favorite restaurants and food establishments are joining us this

    year. Let the mushrooms take you around the world as they are transformed into

    Japanese, Filipino, Thai, Chinese, Swiss, Italian, French and other internationally

    inspired culinary flavors. Go restaurant hopping to try all the dishes and to support

    the cause!
