Pink Chick Parade
A host of 5’ tall Pink Chicks will be strutting their stuff along Military Cutoff Road as part of the first annual Pink Chick Parade to raise funds and awareness for the Pink Ribbon Project. The Pink Chicks are 5’ tall pink cutouts that will parade in front of The Forum Shops throughout October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pink Chicks can be purchased at any of The Forum Shops for $125 each -- the cost of a mammogram administered by Pink Ribbon Project. Participants are encouraged to “Buy a Chick, Save a Life” to help Pink Ribbon administer more mammograms to uninsured women. The chicks can also be signed and customized in honor of or as a memorial to a loved one.
Denim for Dogs
In 2009, Talk, Inc. launched Denim For Dogs, a fundraising initiative that invites employees to wear jeans to work on Fridays in exchange for a $5 donation to Project Pet Project, a corporate social responsibility program with a mission to help pets that help people. The funds raised through Project Pet Project are donated to Carolina Canines for Service, the primary beneficiary of the program. Participation is not limited to Talk, however. The creative communications agency hopes the initiative will catch on and inspire other businesses to launch Denim for Dogs in their workplaces. It’s easy, affordable and everyone — including dogs — benefits.
