Pine2Pink To Again Turn Bucks Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness

DOYLETOWN, PA — For its fifth year, the Pine2Pink Foundation will be turning parts of Bucks County pink in October to raise breast cancer awareness.

The 2022 fundraising season is set to kick off at the end of September and last through the month of October in New Hope Borough, Newtown Borough, Doylestown, Perkasie, Peddler’s Village, Carversville, The Thompson Car Dealerships and, new this year, The Shops at Valley Square in Warrington.

The non-profit has had tremendous success uniting local Bucks County residents and the business community through inventive ways to raise funds 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.

Pine2Pink 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. Street signs will be changed to ‘Pink Street’ in every area Pine2Pink is celebrated.

More than 75 stores and restaurants will participate in the non-profit’s ‘Shop, Eat and Drink Pink’ program where special Pine2Pink items will be sold with a percentage of sales going to Pine2Pink.

ThePine2Pink free app uses ‘augmented reality’ to create an interactive scavenger hunt, where more than 150 pairs of wings will be hidden across Bucks County. Using smartphones people will capture the wings for 25 prizes including gift cards, experience based prizes, signed hockey gear from the Flyers, and a $2,245 pair of earrings from Carroll Jewelers.

“I continue to be in awe of this community and the support we receive from residents and business owners across Bucks County," said Keith Fenimore, Pine2Pink founder. "The outpouring of support and dedication to raising funds for our local breast cancer patients through Pine2Pink has allowed us to help over 1000 local breast cancer patients in need. We are motivated to grow Pine2Pink thoughtfully in an effort to help as many people as possible. We are grateful to all who sponsor, donate, volunteer, and support our lofty mission.”

Thompson Organization General Manager Pat McGinley added, "We got involved with Pine2Pink years ago for a number of reasons. We know the money stays here, helping local people in our community. It also hits home for us. We've sadly had employees pass from breast cancer and also have supported others who have gone through battles themselves or with family members. When Keith approached us, we knew it would be a good partnership to join so others in the community had that same support. We believe in what thePine2Pink Foundation does and are excited to be the presenting sponsor this year."
