MARLBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Barbara’s,
known for making delicious cereals and snacks from simple, wholesome
ingredients, has partnered with Defenders
of Wildlife – a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the
protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities
– creating limited-edition collectible bracelets featuring key imperiled

elephant and polar bear – all vulnerable animal groups representing the
Earth’s impressive wildlife heritage. Net proceeds from all bracelets

short period of time, but believe that through our supportive community
we can come together to achieve this feat.”
