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

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.
