Buckle Up, Pacific Northwest: It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
October has rolled in, and that means it’s time for everyone in the Pacific Northwest to join hands and raise awareness for a cause that hits home for so many – Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Local businesses are taking action, launching a range of initiatives that not only foster community spirit but also support organizations dedicated to fighting breast cancer.
Celebrating 30 Years of Team Survivor Northwest
Mark your calendars for October 4, because Team Survivor Northwest is throwing a spectacular 30th Anniversary Gala at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington. Kicking off at 5 p.m., this memorable evening has one goal: to raise a whopping $175,000 – nearly half of Team Survivor Northwest’s entire annual budget. The gala promises not just a night to remember, but also a chance to connect with inspiring survivor stories, enjoy a delicious dinner, sip on drinks, and dive into exciting live auctions. Plus, there’s a dessert dash and a Golden Ticket drawing to up the ante. It’s a night of celebration and support you won’t want to miss!
Willows Lodge: Pampering for a Purpose
Feeling a little rundown? Willows Lodge has got your back. Throughout October, this local haven will donate a generous 10% of proceeds from special treatments directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. What’s on tap? Indulge in luxurious options like the Blush of Hope Facial and the Pink Power-Up massage. And, making things even sweeter, on October 8, they’ll be offering complimentary 30-minute Epicutis mini facials for current breast cancer patients and survivors. What a way to pamper those who have fought through so much!
Join the Pink Ribbon Army with Northwest Hope & Healing
On October 12, get ready to lace up your shoes and head to Chambers Bay for the vibrant Pink Ribbon Army event hosted by Northwest Hope & Healing. This signature event will feature not one, but two exhilarating activities – a golf tournament and a 5K race alongside a fun 1K run/walk. Bringing people together to not only participate but also to contribute to an important cause is the essence of this event. Keep an eye out for additional fitness classes and pop-up promotions happening throughout the month, offering plenty of chances to support the fight against breast cancer.
Shop for a Cause at the West Seattle Discovery Shop
Don’t forget to check out the West Seattle Discovery Shop, run by the American Cancer Society. This unique shop is making a massive difference, donating 100% of resale shop proceeds directly to cancer research and patient programs. So, whether you’re looking to find a hidden gem or simply clean out your closets, this shop invites donations of gently used items to aid local cancer patients and their families. Every little bit helps in this fight!
