Home Of Pine2Pink Founders Toilet Papered For A Cause In Doylestown
The TP started flying around 5 p.m. on Mischief Night and continued almost nonstop for the next few hours.
DOYLESTOWN, PA — It’s a sight you don’t often see in the quiet, well kept neighborhoods of Doylestown Township - a property totally trashed with toilet paper.
The white tissue paper was hanging from the trees, the roof line, the electric wires, the rain gutters. It even covered the car, the van, the fence and the bushes.
The toilet paper started flying around 5 p.m. on Mischief Night and continued almost nonstop for the next three hours until it covered almost every inch of the property.

Pine2Pink founders Keith and Christina Fenimore watched as their home was completely trashed by streamers of white paper as the School of Rock House Band added music to the mayhem.
“I’m pleasantly surprised at how calm I am watching my house get completely trashed,” said Keith, who sacrificed his property to raise funds for Pine2Pink and breast cancer patients.

For every roll of toilet paper thrown, the Fenimore’s asked that $5 be donated to to Pine2Pink. And there was a lot of toilet paper thrown Sunday night.
Keith came up with the idea as a fun way to involve the community in a good cause and to have a little fun during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“Today we helped more than 1,000 breast cancer patients. Sometimes you do wine pairings and other sophisticated events and other times you do stuff like this,” he said. “I think this is going to become an annual thing because my Adrenalin is going and I absolutely love every minute of it.
I’m just a 51 year old kid.”
Among the first to join in the debauchery were Alyson Etter and her daughter, Noa. They were covering one of the Fenimore’s cars with TP.
“It’s wonderful. It’s very creative. I think 2020 is laughing at us right now,” said Alyson. “It’s a wonderful, wonderful cause and a very fun event.”
Standing nearby was Doylestown Township Police Sgt. Shaun Magee who was covered in toilet paper as it fell from a tree above.
“What a nice way to spend a Sunday evening,” he said. “Everyone is having fun for a good cause. There’s nothing better than that.”
Officer MaGee even took a moment to demonstrate the proper throwing technique for some of the younger kids taking part in the toilet papering.
“This is the lighter side of what we do,” said Keith. “And that’s the community engagement piece. And if the cost happens to be TP-ing my house, so be it.”
Among the crowd of people hurling toilet paper rolls were Pine2Pink volunteers Bruce and Sandy Roberts who had their sights set on a large tree next to the driveway.
“This is a lot of fun. What a great way to get people involved,” said Bruce. “It’s showing the community’s commitment to a very, very worthy cause. It’s great to see all ages and all generations here.”
“And we don’t have to clean it up,” adds Sandy. “I’m actually a breast cancer survivor so this means a lot to me,” she said.
As toilet paper continued to rain down on the property, some began wondering, like Sandy, “Who has the job of cleaning it all up?"
“I have two plans,” said Keith. “One is I leave it up until it snows and it blends in. Or two, the Thompson Detail Department said they’d be sending a bucket truck to help me take it down. I’ve got the community helping me."
