SAN DIEGO, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- A healthy lifestyle is always important and to encourage consumers to get active, Bumble Bee Foods today launched the BeeWell Miles Program, benefitting the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization with a donation of up to $200,000. Running from May 1 to June 30, 2008, BeeWell Miles encourages and inspires consumers to get moving and eat healthy via BeeWellMiles.com, an interactive website dedicated to creating an active lifestyle.

Consumers can participate in the BeeWell Miles program in a variety of ways. One way is through healthy eating. During the two-month campaign, grocery store shelves will get a makeover with 10 million pink Bumble Bee(R) Solid White Albacore tuna cans -- a low fat, high protein food that is ideal for a healthy diet.

In addition to eating well, BeeWell Miles will encourage consumers to get active via BeeWellMiles.com, an interactive Web site where consumers can get information for a healthy lifestyle and log the miles they are walking or running each day. When one million miles are logged, Bumble Bee Foods will donate an additional $50,000 to Y-ME for a total donation of $200,000.
