Over the last three years, Collingswood has raised more than $20,000 for Breast Cancer awareness. 

During the entire month of October, Collingswood helps promote awareness and raise money to help find a cure for breast cancer in conjunction with the Philadelphia affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Haddon Avenue will be lit in pink festival lights and pink lighting gels will be placed on the lights of large buildings to cast a pink glow.

The entire town will be decked out in pink with 14-inch pink bows for $10 available from Aster's Floral Shop, 542 Haddon Avenue. All proceeds benefit the Komen Foundation. Put them on your windows, trees, porches and anywhere else to show your support.

Residents, merchants and guests can get involved in one of the many ‘Are you Pink?’ opportunities throughout town. Visit your favorite stores and restaurants to see how they are supporting the cause – merchants are contributing in their own way. Restaurants may offer discounts and special entrees, stores and services may offer products and percentages of purchases donated to the Komen foundation. For a complete list of participants see below.

Purchase a pink drink tumbler with the Collingswood ribbon logo for $10 that shows your support – or pick up a faux-leather bookmark with photo window, also with our ribbon logo for $5. You can also purchase a bar of soap with the pink ribbon imbedded (made for us by member of the Collingswood Cerebral Palsey Adult Activity Center). Purchase them at Borough Hall - proceeds will benefit the Komen Foundation. They all make terrific gifts.

There will be events to promote awareness all month. October’s Cruise night on Oct. 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. will be both ladies’ night and dedicated to breast cancer awareness with specials. Girls will pick the best classic cars and motorcycles and pink definitely has an advantage.  http://www.collingswood.com/entertainment/cruise-night
