HEB also unveiled new trailer trucks that support the effort.

"Today, we are striking through the word cancer. It’s our symbolic commitment to finding an end to this disease,” said Julie Bedingfield, with HEB public affairs. “We’re borrowing MD Anderson’s logo. We put it on the side of out trailer, and folks can see those trailers all across the state for the next four weeks while the campaign is going on."

The campaign includes all Texas HEB stores, including Central Market. It will run through Sept. 13.
