In celebration of “October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” Anna’s Attic Thrift Shoppe, 5350 Clayton Road, Concord, will sponsor a special Pink Ribbon Day, on Friday, October 24, 2008, from 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM. “Pink Ribbon Day will be a festive occasion at Anna’s Attic Thrift Shoppe,” says Vicki Smith, Program Manager for Anna’s Program. “Each visitor will be given a complimentary pink ribbon, the symbol of breast cancer awareness. There will be refreshments for all, free raffles, door prizes, and educational materials available on breast cancer. Best of all, there will be big discounts on all items throughout the store.”
Additionally, all five Hospice Thrift Shoppes (Alamo, Danville , Walnut Creek , Concord and Antioch ) will celebrate Pink Ribbon Days throughout the entire month of October by offering products and information to raise awareness about breast cancer. “We want to acknowledge the many women who are dealing with breast cancer, as well as send a message of hope that early detection and research will bring about a cure,” remarked Smith. Proceeds from Pink Ribbon Days will be used to support Anna’s Program, a specialized program of Hospice of the East Bay that offers practical and emotional support to women with recurrent breast cancer.
