Quaker Bridge Mall Focusing On Breast Cancer Awareness
The Quaker Bridge Mall will host a range of events as Simon partners with Susan G. Komen.
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — The Quaker Bridge Mall is among the more than 150 Simon shopping centers that will participate in a range of activities during October as Simon joins forces with Susan G. Komen, the world's leading nonprofit breast cancer organization, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Quaker Bridge Mall is helping support Komen's work to save lives and reach its Bold Goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% in the United States by 2026. Simon is joining the fight against breast cancer by starting a conversation and challenging people to help create a renewed movement in the fight against breast cancer, a disease that will kill more than 42,000 people this year.
Throughout October, visitors to the Quaker Bridge Mall will be able to participate in a variety of programs to help support Susan G. Komen:
