THE largest glasshouse grower of fresh fruit and vegetables in the country, Flavorite, will be funding vital research and support for patients and families suffering from Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

This November, Australians can add colour to their lives with healthy fresh produce while giving hope to patients with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes for Maddie’s Month.

Flavorite will be donating 15 cents from every pack of specially marked tomatoes and capsicums sold exclusively at Coles supermarkets to Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision during Maddie’s Month up to a maximum of $100,000, funding vital research and support for patients and families suffering from Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

Mark Millis, co-founder of Flavorite and the man behind establishing the collaboration between Flavorite and Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision lost his battle with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer in 2019.

Tom Millis, Flavorite’s marketing manager and one of Mark’s five sons encourages all Australians to get behind this great cause, support Australian farmers and to eat more fruit and vegetables.

“By purchasing our tomatoes and capsicums, you can make a real difference to someone else’s life and improve your health at the same time! Consumers can also ‘scan and win’ to go into the draw to win great prizes like a private chef dining experience or premium Weber Baby Q gas barbecue.”

The Flavorite team continue to drive Mark’s vision and legacy in their 8th year of this special campaign.
