Pink Street Party is coming to Downtown Buffalo
Buffalo, MN 55313 07/21/2009--
You can help illuminate downtown Buffalo in sparkling pink lights this October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sponsoring a string of lights for the Pink Street Party in honor of a breast cancer survivor, in memory of a loved one, or simply in recognition of all those touched by cancer.
“It is going to be incredibly moving when we throw the switch and thousands of pink lights glow in honor of lives touched by cancer,” says Karla Heeter, Buffalo Hospital Foundation director. “Nearly everyone can think of someone who has been affected by cancer in some way. The Pink Street Party is a powerful event to recognize them.”
Buffalo Hospital Foundation, Sara’s Dance Foundation and Lillians are teaming up to plan the pink event to elevate cancer awareness and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with cancer.
A $50 donation will sponsor a string of pink LED lights for the entire month of October. Honor a cancer survivor or the memory of loved one, recognize friends or caregivers, or sponsor a string of lights in hope that your friends, sisters, mothers or daughter never have to fight cancer. Funds raised from The Pink Street Party will be used to provide free mammograms for uninsured women in our community, to promote breast cancer education and to impact the quality of life for those diagnosed with cancer.

Dress up in your favorite pink outfit and head downtown for a Pink Street Party from 4 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1, with live music, food vendors and shopping galore! Gather in front of Lillians at 8 p.m. as we throw the switch and light the night sky with pink lights.
