Bucks Nonprofit Seeks Partners For Breast Cancer Fundraising Campaign

BUCKINGHAM, PA – Main St. (formerly Pine2Pink) is currently accepting sponsorships and partnerships for its upcoming fall campaign in support of the Bucks County breast cancer community.

During October, the nonprofit organization launches a county-wide initiative with fundraising and awareness events in New Hope, Carversville, Perkasie, Newtown, Doylestown, and two of the most popular shopping destinations - Peddler’s Village and the Shops at Valley Square.

Main St. offers businesses multiple ways to get involved and participate:

• Thousands of lights will turn pink from streetlamps to storefronts, museums, municipal buildings, car dealerships, shopping malls, and people’s homes.
• Main St. will benefit from more than 20 events throughout the month.
• Shopping with Purpose: Nearly 100 stores and restaurants will participate in the non-profit’s ‘Shop, Eat and Drink Pink’ program where special Main St. items will be sold with a percentage of sales going to Main St.
• The Main St. free app uses ‘augmented reality’ to create an interactive scavenger hunt, where over 150 virtual ‘hugs’ will be hidden across Bucks County. Using smartphones people will capture the hugs for prizes including gift cards and experience-based prizes.

“Over the last six years, I have had the good fortune to cultivate relationships with hundreds of
local businesses across Bucks County," shares Keith Fenimore, founder and executive director of Main St. "I have witnessed their passion and creativity as they collaborate with our non-profit in a mutually beneficial way that supports and impacts their business, as well as their social responsibility agenda while at the same time generating awareness and funds for Main St. This circle of life is what drives our non-profit, and so much good has come from it.”

To date, Main St. has raised and donated more than $550,000 and helped create and fund amazing
programs such as: home food delivery, patient out-of-pocket expenses, cold-capping, treatment
transportation, integrative services, and the purchase of infusion chairs at Fox Chase in Buckingham and Doylestown’s Cancer Center.

This year, Main St. will kick off the month with a luminary stroll and award presentation at the
Mercer Museum slated for September 26 and a State Street block party, fashion show, and the
crowning of Mr. Bucks County in Newtown on October 17. The details for this year’s month-long fundraiser is being formulated, but historically local residents and businesses have hosted 20 events for the non-profit throughout the month.

The beneficiaries of this year’s fundraising efforts will be Bucks County breast cancer patients cared for at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Buckingham, Grand View Hospital, Doylestown Health, Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic St. Mary Medical Center and Kin Wellness and Support Center.
