The Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance (CVBCA) partnered with the Downtown Business Council of Chambersburg for “Paint the Town Pink” on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022 from 5:00 p.m.to 8:00 p.m.
Attendees enjoyed live music from Two Mountains Over, a face painting station, a rock wall, crafts and the Fabulous Flamingo Scavenger Hunt.
Participants hunted for plastic flamingos in participating businesses, including Falafel Shack, Brussel’s Cafe, Mattie’s Hair Salon and Keystone Health Outreach. Once the participant wrote down the names on each company’s flamingo, they were entered into a raffle to win a gift basket with gift certificates and products from Milk Bath, Bonfield Collective and Lotus Moon.
“The CVBCA has an immediate local impact,” Samantha Logsdon, CVBCA President said. “All funds that are raised stay in Franklin, Fulton and Cumberland County to help provide aid to newly diagnosed women”.
Fundraising efforts contribute to programs such as Mammagift, which are free mammograms for uninsured women, care packages, wigs and other forms of financial aid.
Events like this not only fundraise, but they also support local businesses and raise awareness about the disease, exams and mammograms. Many businesses downtown had special deals, giveaways, samples and more.
The CVBCA holds many fundraising events year-round. For more information on events, donations and more, you can visit thecvbca.org.
