Main St. seeks businesses across Bucks County who are looking to keep their donations local
Main St. (formerly Pine2Pink), a local 501(c)(3) focused on caring for our local Bucks County breast cancer community, is happy to announce that sponsorship and partnership opportunities are now open. Businesses with a desire to support our breast cancer community and keep their donated funds local, are encouraged to reach out to become a 2024 official sponsor and/or partner.
Main St., now in its 7th year, is a county-wide initiative, making an impact on the lives of over 2000 local Bucks County breast cancer patients since 2018. Main St. will be active during the entire month of October in many Bucks County communities.
Main St. offers businesses multiple ways to get involved and participate:
- Thousands of lights will turn pink from street lamps to storefronts, museums, municipal buildings, car dealerships, shopping malls and people’s homes.
- Main St. will benefit from over 20 events throughout the month.
- Shopping with Purpose: Nearly 100 stores and restaurants will participate in the non-profit’s ‘Shop, Eat and Drink Pink’ program where special Main St. items will be sold with a percentage of sales going to Main St.
- The Main St. free app uses ‘augmented reality’ to create an interactive scavenger hunt, where over 150 virtual ‘hugs’ will be hidden across Bucks County. Using Smartphones people will capture the hugs for prizes including gift cards, experience-based prizes.
If you would like to sponsor, partner or host an event, please get in touch by visiting www.welcometomainst.org or emailing keith@welcometomainst.org.
“Over the last six years I have had the good fortune to cultivate relationships with hundreds of local businesses across Bucks County. I have witnessed their passion and creativity as they collaborate with our non-profit in a mutually beneficial way that supports and impacts their business, as well as their social responsibility agenda while at the same time generating awareness and funds for Main St. This circle of life is what drives our non-profit, and so much good has come from it!” shares Keith Fenimore, Founder and Executive Director of Main St.
To date, Main St. has raised and donated over $550,000 and helped create and fund amazing programs such as: home food delivery, patient out-of-pocket expenses, cold-capping, treatment transportation, integrative services and the purchase of infusion chairs at Fox Chase in Buckingham and Doylestown’s Cancer Center.
This year Main St. will kick-off the month with a luminary stroll and award presentation at the Mercer Museum slated for September 26 and a State Street block party, fashion show and the crowning of Mr. Bucks County taking place in Newtown on October 17. The details for this year’s month-long fundraiser is being formulated, but historically local residents and businesses have hosted 20 events for the non-profit throughout the month. Watch the website for more events, and for anyone interested in hosting a fundraiser for Main St., please contact Keith Fenimore at keith@welcometomainst.org.
The beneficiaries of this year’s fundraising efforts will be Bucks County breast cancer patients cared for at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Buckingham, Grand View Hospital, Doylestown Health, Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic St. Mary Medical Center, and Kin Wellness and Support Center.
