Rocket Farms showed its support for the fight against breast cancer at the Tough Enough to Wear Pink event July 17, 2014 at the California Rodeo Salinas.

Rocket Farms gifted 100 locally grown, pink orchids to breast cancer survivors in the grand entry parade, riding in wearing pink sashes. Those in the audience who are fighting or who have fought breast cancer were called out over the speakers to receive their orchids as well. The pink orchids were seen in the sponsor tent throughout the week.
