Cahaba Village for the Cure set for Sept. 19

Pink will flood Cahaba Village this month for the fourth annual Cahaba Village for the Cure.

Cahaba Village merchants and the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce are hosting the event Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6-8 p.m.

There will be live entertainment and food offerings. Village merchants will donate a portion of sales to North Central Alabama Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a grass roots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.

The North Central Alabama affiliate for Susan G. Komen will provide volunteers and their signature pink tents to promote breast cancer awareness, while signing up participants for the annual Race for the Cure to be held in Linn Park on Oct. 12.

“This is a fantastic way for Cahaba Village to be involved and promote awareness while raising monies for the cause,” said Todd Jackson, owner and operator of Newk’s Eatery. “Too many people have been touched by this disease, and we want to do our part by joining Susan G. Komen in the fight to cure breast cancer.”

In addition to participating in September’s Cahaba Village for the Cure, Newk’s will also have a team of employees and their families “Racing for the Cure” on Oct. 12 in Linn Park, as well as donating a portion of their pink Newk’s cups to the Komen foundation.
