Rockaway Townsquare Goes 'Mission Pink' with Susan G. Komen to Fight Breast Cancer

Rockaway Townsquare today announced that it will be participating in a national engagement with Susan G. Komen® to support the fight against breast cancer, engaging employees, retailers and shoppers in ‘Mission Pink®’ events throughout the month of October.

“As an active member in this community, Rockaway Townsquare provides an ideal backdrop for raising awareness and encouraging support in finding a cure for breast cancer, a disease we know affects many of our employees, retailers and shoppers every year,” said Maria Gregorius, area director of marketing and business development for Rockaway Townsquare.

“We are delighted to be working with the dedicated people at Simon,” said Dr. Judy Salerno, Komen President and CEO. “With one case of breast cancer diagnosed every two minutes in the U.S., programs like Simon’s ‘Mission Pink’ play a key role in bringing our mission to people in communities across the country. The support of Simon and their customers will help us fund research, provide support to women, men and families suffering from breast cancer, and move toward a world with no breast cancer.”

Visitors to Rockaway Townsquare will notice that the Guest Services booth will be outfitted in pink and staff will be honoring National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donning pink accessories.

On Saturday, October 3, Rockaway Townsquare will host its Mission Pink program from 2-4 p.m. at Lord & Taylor Court. The event will kick-off with a welcome address by a Susan G., Komen representative followed by a breast cancer survivors fashion show with looks and make-up provided by Lord & Taylor. Other activities for guests to enjoy include:

• A health and wellness expo with local vendors, including Jenny Craig offering free consultations and free 30 day memberships
• Fitness instruction by MAX Challenge
  
• Pink nail applications from Jamberry Nails
• Enter to win prizes from Rockaway Townsquare retailers

• A pink candy bar and mocktail bar for those want to make a donation to Susan G. Komen
