Main St. (formerly Pine2Pink), the experience-based, community-driven nonprofit dedicated to local breast cancer patients is set to the launch its sixth year.
The 2023 fundraising season is set to kick off at the end of September and last through the month of October. Main St. can be found in many areas across 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, Dublin Town Center, in Dublin.
The nonprofit 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.
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 nonprofit’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, experience-based prizes, signed hockey gear from the Flyers, and 14Kt yellow gold earrings from Carroll Jewelers valued at nearly $1000.
