The Pink Edition

The Pink Edition marks the first time in history a music artist has simultaneously released two versions of an album, with one version dedicated solely to charity. Available November 6 for $15 exclusively through Komen’s online Promise Shop, at www.komen.org/garth, $10 from each Pink Edition sold will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The 3-disc set contains 30 classics, three new songs and a bonus track on two audio CDs. The set also includes a DVD with 33 videos including new and never-before-seen footage. Additionally, the album will feature important breast health and breast cancer information along with an instructional card on breast self-examination.

“Through the release of this very special and very pink edition of The Ultimate Hits, Garth Brooks is actively joining Susan G. Komen for the Cure in our promise to end breast cancer forever,” said breast cancer survivor Hala Moddelmog, Komen for the Cure’s president and chief executive officer. “We’re excited about the potential from this relationship, and we’re grateful that Garth is featuring important breast health and breast cancer information from Komen with the album. Through this example of his artistry and generosity, Garth is giving Komen a unique opportunity to raise significant dollars and reach millions of people, ultimately helping us to save lives.”
