A Spooktacular Fundraiser for a Worthy Cause at Chong Wears Pink 2023
Hey there, dear friends and supporters of our mission to kick breast cancer’s butt! We are thrilled to invite you to an event that’s as meaningful as it is spooktacular. On October 28, we’re hosting “Scaring the Hell Outta Breast Cancer” at the Outta The Way Cafe’s Rabbit Hole, and you are all cordially invited. So, get ready for a hauntingly good time, all in the name of a fantastic cause. RSVP here or Make A Donation to Chong Wears Pink 2023.

Our goal for this event is straightforward yet ambitious: we’re aiming to raise a whopping $10,000 to help women and men battling breast cancer through the American Cancer Society. This cause is near and dear to our hearts, especially to our Branch Manager, Chong Yi. While he might come across as a joking and easygoing guy, he’s a big softie on the inside, and this cause hits close to home for him. Chong has friends who are affected by this disease, and he’s committed to making a difference.
Now, let’s dive into what you can expect at this thrilling evening. “Scaring the Hell Outta Breast Cancer” promises to be a night to remember. We’ve got a killer lineup of entertainment that includes live music performed by none other than Chong Yi and his talented friends. The dance floor will be waiting for your fancy footwork, and the costume contest will add a bit of spooky flair to the night. So, get your creative costume thinking caps on and come dressed to impress (or terrify)!
As for the libations, our event will feature a cash bar, ensuring that your cups stay full while your hearts are even fuller. Delectable appetizers will keep you fueled and ready for a night of fun and festivities.
Spooky Good Raffles
