How
about doing something different this Halloween?

Although the colors will be different, there will be a few bats and black cats around to get you in the spirit. The purpose is to raise money to fight breast cancer and benefit the American Cancer Society. According to owner Mike Ghiringhelli, twenty percent of the funds raised will assist the organization prevent cancers that touch every person in some way.
