"It is an honor to team up with Adamari, for the second year, on Yoplait's Save Lids to Save Lives program," said Tammy Sadinsky Martin of Yoplait. "We recognize the alarming breast cancer statistics facing Hispanic women and are committed to helping them understand their options for early detection and treatment. We hope that our pink lids serve as a reminder for people to think about their breast cancer risk, schedule their yearly mammogram or conduct their breast self-exam."

In 2005 Lopez faced her own battle with the disease when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. After sharing her diagnosis with fans, she underwent cancer treatment and has been living cancer-free since 2006.
