On behalf of the women (and men) of Florida, we ask you to join us in the fight against breast cancer by participating in Downtowns Go Pink this October. Restaurants and shops lining the avenues of our cities and towns will become destination hot spots by offering special promotions to raise funds for state-wide, life-saving breast cancer programs and research. You can promote your business while you support those in Florida in need of our services. Downtowns Go Pink will recognize your support throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

Download the participation agreement form and please complete and return no later than September 20, 2019 to be included in our promotional efforts. It would be our privilege to partner with your business. Together, we can make the 3rd Annual Downtowns Go Pink a success that saves lives.
