Still Time to Support Breast Cancer Research in Farmington and Farmington Hills

Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends Wednesday, along with several charity drives for breast cancer research at Farmington area businesses:

Kroger Pink Ribbons

Customers at the Farmington Hills Kroger stores located at 25780 Middlebelt Rd. and 37550 W. 12 Mile Rd. may purchase a pink ribbon for $1 or make a coin box donation to benefit breast cancer awareness and research. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. 

Pink Pumpkins

The Pink Pumpkin Patch Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds breast cancer research, is working with major retailers this month to raise money for breast cancer research through the sale of special pink-skinned pumpkins.

Panera Pink Ribbon Bagels

Sold at Panera Bakery Cafes in Farmington and Farmington Hills in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the signature bagel has raised more than $1.25 million for breast cancer charities nationwide. In participating Panera bakery-cafes in the metro Detroit-area, funds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
