Think Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Events Around Pittsburgh

Here are a few ways that western Pennsylvanians can participate in the cause.

 

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and whether you love to shop, attend events, walk or run, there are tons of different ways to support the cause. Here are a few fundraising opportunities around the Pittsburgh area:

 

 

  • Wacoal will sponsor a Fit for the Cure program at Macy's department stores to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For every woman professionally fitted for Wacoal gear at these events, Wacoal will donate $2 to Komen for the Cure. The Macy's at South Hills Village will participate on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information is available here.

 

  • If you buy any CoGo's refillable coffee mug this month, the convenience store will donate $0.50 to Komen Pittsburgh. There are quite a few CoGo's near the Baldwin-Whitehall area. Click here to find them. More information is available here.

 

These are just a few of the many breast cancer awareness events happening around Pittsburgh this month.

Please donate locally. There is a lot of excellent research and studies going on in Pittsburgh. A donation to the Susan B. Komen Foundation is just as likely to go to a political organization as it is to finding cure.......and that's AFTER the CEO's $5M salary.
