PINK PUMPKINS: Las Olas Going Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month


PINK PUMPKINS - A Tribute To Fighting Breast Cancer

Pink Pumpkins. A tribute, a mission, and a movement to end breast cancer.

That’s right – Las Olas Boulevard’s turning PINK for the month of October!

Many of the restaurants, bars and retailers on Las Olas will host special events and turn their storefronts “PINK” in support of Breast Cancer Awareness and the American Cancer Society’s fight against the disease.

PINK PUMPKINS on Las Olas is in coordination with our Charity Partner “AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY“, City Furniture and Ashley Furniture. A tribute, a mission, and a movement to end breast cancer.



THE PINK PUMPKINS STORY

The Pink Pumpkins got their start with Doreen Koenig, mom of CEO Andrew Koenig, who everyone thought of as the CITY mom. She was always known for her philanthropy, and one of her biggest causes was ending breast cancer, long before she was diagnosed in 2015.

As Doreen reached the end of her brave battle, she had the idea to give out thousands of pink pumpkin buckets in our stores and around our community. It was her special and cute wish to fill the community with the color of hope for breast cancer awareness.

Her idea is that moms and families everywhere in South Florida would be using these pink pumpkin buckets on Halloween, and that this would spread some awareness to the cause—ending breast cancer.
