Show Us Your Pink Pride in Decatur and Avondale Estates

Showing off your pink pride during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a favorite thing to do with survivors and supporters alike.

Thousands of hats, shirts, and other pink breast cancer items are sold in October. Millions of tiny pink ribbons are worn to support the cure for breast cancer and hope for many women.

Also, countless numbers of people show support of Breast Cancer Awareness by participating in fundraising events. Have you joined a local support group? Joined efforts with other supporters to hold a fundraiser or night out?

In Decatur and Avondale Estates, this is how people are showing Pink Pride.

A big crowd turned out for the Komen 3-Day and a good-sized cheering section assembled in doT

Through Oct. 27, customers of Atlanta Kroger supermarkets, including the Kroger on Commerce and the store on DeKalb Industrial Boulevard, may purchase pink paper ribbons for $1 at the checkout, the sales of which benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

MudFire Gallery is holding Mugs for Jugs, an exhibition and sale of handmade ceramic mugs to raise money for breast cancer research. The gallery is at 175 Laredo Drive.

J. Christopher’s in Decatur in October is donating $1 from every order of pumpkin pancakes and .50 from every pumpkin latte to Komen Atlanta.
