Main St. Turning Bucks Pink In Support Of Breast Cancer Patients

DOYLESTOWN, PA — For the sixth year, Main St. (formerly Pine2Pink), an experience-based, community-driven non-profit dedicated to local breast cancer patients, will be turning Bucks County pink in October in a month-long fundraising and awareness campaign.

The 2023 fundraising season is set to kick-off at the end of September and last through the month of October. Main St. has spread throughout Bucks County including New Hope, Newtown, Doylestown, Perkasie, Peddler’s Village, Carversville, The Thompson Car Dealerships, Shops at Valley Square in Warrington and new this year, the Dublin Town Center in Dublin.

The non-profit has had tremendous success inspiring local Bucks County residents and the business community to give through inventive ways that directly support local breast cancer patients in treatment and recovery.

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, and Kin Wellness and Support Center.

“Our family run non-profit created Main St. as a way to inspire local businesses and residents to support our local breast cancer community and celebrate their fighting spirit," said Keith Fenimore, Main St. founder. "We aimed to create an environment that is uplifting and supportive so those battling breast cancer know they are not alone. Our new logo is an embrace, which is meant to reflect caring, courage and togetherness.”

Main St. offers people multiple ways to get involved and participate in fun and engaging ways.

• Thousands of lights will turn pink from streetlamps to storefronts, museums, municipal buildings, car dealerships, shopping malls and people’s homes.
• Seventy-one 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.
• A Main St. free app using ‘augmented reality’ will create an interactive scavenger hunt, where more than 150 virtual ‘hugs’ will be hidden across Bucks County. Using smartphones, people can also capture the hugs for prizes including gift cards, experience-based prizes, signed hockey gear from the Flyers, and 14Kt yellow gold earrings from Carroll Jewelers valued at nearly $1000.
