BUCKS COUNTY, PA – Main St. (formerly Pine2Pink), a nonprofit focused on caring for the local Bucks County breast cancer community, will launch its seventh fall campaign beginning this week.

Having helped more than 2,000 local breast cancer patients in treatment and recovery and raised over $550,000, the non-profit relies on strong community support to fund programs such as treatment transportation, cold capping, home-meal-delivery, integrative services, out-of-pocket expenses and the purchase of infusion chairs and other crucial care equipment.

This fall, the non-profit will be supported by more than 100 sponsors and partners and can be found at participating towns and shopping destinations throughout the county including New Hope, Carversville, Peddler’s Village, Doylestown, Perkasie, Newtown and Shops at Valley Square.

We like to grow thoughtfully year-over-year, so expanding to Yardley through their local businesses is exciting for our non-profit.
