Dole is offering pineapple fans in eight Dole cities across the country the chance to celebrate National Pineapple Day on June 27 by donating blood or contributing to health and wellness community programs.
As a fresh incentive, anyone participating in a give-back opportunity on the annual holiday will receive a DOLE® Tropical Gold or DOLE® Royal Hawaiian Pineapple while supplies last.
“Given the pineapple’s universal appeal, and Dole’s 122-year history of harvesting the fruit, we wanted to give our fans from coast to coast tangible ways to pay it forward,” said Bil Goldfield, director of corporate communications for Dole Food Company.
Dole’s “Pine for a Pint” program is being offered on June 27 at Dole’s corporate headquarters in Charlotte and at or near Dole port and field offices in Freeport, Texas; Gulfport, Miss.; Kansas City, Mo.; San Diego; Westlake Village, Calif.; Wilmington, Del.; and Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii, home of the original Dole Pineapple Farm and recently launched Dole North Shore Pineapple Farm Tour.

As a special tribute in Dole’s headquarters city, Wells Fargo will illuminate its 550 South Tryon Building in uptown Charlotte yellow and green on the evening of June 27 in honor of National Pineapple Day as part of the “Wells Fargo Charlotte Lights” program honoring causes, events and programs benefiting the local community.
The “Pine for a Pint” events are part of a larger June 25-29 celebration of National Pineapple Day that includes posts and engagement opportunities on Dole’s Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pages, and PR and media outreach activities nationally and in Dole cities.
