The Pine2Pink Foundation, an experience-based, community-driven nonprofit dedicated to local breast cancer patients, is happy to announce its 2022 expansion to The Shops at Valley Square in Warrington.
The expansion opportunity will allow Pine2Pink’s ever-growing footprint (New Hope, Newtown, Doylestown, Perkasie, Peddler’s Village and Carversville) to expand to Warrington and reside in a popular local shopping destination featuring 40 retailers and restaurants.
The expansion will help drive fundraising efforts and awareness throughout the entire month of October.
Pine2Pink’s immersive fundraising experience will be integrated at the Shops at Valley Square in a multitude of ways. Over 150 exterior lights will be changed to pink throughout the complex; stores will dedicate either a special Pine2Pink section or select featured items with a proceed split going directly to the nonprofit; North Main Street the main throughfare will be renamed Pink Street for the month, and the Pine2Pink virtual scavenger hunt will be active throughout the complex. The scavenger hunt is an augmented reality game powered by a free phone app. The entire family can seek, find and capture virtual pink wings hidden throughout the shops and claim them for prizes. The scavenger hunt spans across Bucks County to every city and location that supports Pine2Pink.
An ever-growing facet of Pine2Pink’s popularity is it’s; Eat, Drink and Shop program, where people are encouraged to #ShopLocal, and a portion of their spending directly supporting local breast cancer patients.
Ardana Food & Drink, a premier restaurant within Valley Square, has partnered with Pine2Pink. As official sponsors, the owners will host an exclusive wine and food pairing event with all proceeds going to Pine2Pink. Slated for this October, the evening will honor local breast cancer survivors and thrivers.

As a family run restaurateur who services this community, I wanted to do my part to help raise funds and awareness for Pine2Pink so my customers who are battling breast cancer and those in the community can benefit.”
“I am thrilled to expand to Warrington and have Pine2Pink takeover the Shops at Valley Square,” added Pine2Pink founder Keith Fenimore. “The center is like a little village and attracts an amazing amount of foot traffic.
