October is a time to think pink. Here is how to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Philadelphia.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
Throughout October, City Works Eatery & Pour House in King of Prussia has partnered with Boston Beer Co. to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout this time, the eatery will offer the “Hops for Hope” campaign, where both City Works and Boston Beer Co. will each donate $1 per Angry Orchard Crisp and Boston Lager sold in October. As a release states, all money raised will be donated to the Lynn Sage Foundation, which is seeking better breast cancer outcomes by funding innovative research.

Laps & Laces Breast Cancer & Domestic Violence Awareness – Walk The Field
On Oct. 30, Philadelphians can come out to help support and stand in solidarity for “HER” with Walk The Field. Taking place that Sunday at 1 p.m., participants can walk the track to show support and solidarity for both Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence.
As the official event description states, the event is about ensuring the future of women both mentally and physically – while doing our part to provide events and platforms to bridge the gap between all demographics of our growing membership base. This is a free event, but registration is encouraged. And to add additional support, half the proceeds for breast cancer or domestic violence t-shirts sales will go to support help each cause.
Choices Zumba Party In Pink Breast Cancer FUNraiser
You can move, dance and join in on a Zumba dance class this month to help support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Taking place in Brookehaven, certified Zumba instructor Jana Walker is throwing a family-friendly class for anyone to join in on. And as the official event page states, the event is also celebrating the memory of Teresa LaVail Powell, breast cancer patients, survivors, and those that lost their lives to this devastating disease.
The class will be held at the Redwood Community Playhouse, and it will also feature free giveaways and raffle prizes. The 90-minute Zumba Party kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and registration (free) is available online through Eventbrite.
