Save 2nd Base – Pink With A Wink

It seems you cannot go anywhere these days without seeing a pink ribbon on a coffee mug to a Lacoste polo shirt — the ubiquitous symbol of breast cancer awareness. And a typically dressed-in-black indie crowd in GR is looking to spotlight pink as it relates to raising some funds to Save 2nd Base.

This “pink with a wink” fundraiser will benefit the Kelly Rooney Foundation’s Save 2nd Base.  The foundation started the lighthearted awareness campaign after Rooney, mother of five children, was diagnosed with breast cancer. While Rooney lost her battle with cancer in 2006, her battle lives on through the support of creative individuals like Mea Leech of Billy’s Lounge, Jammie Award winner Karisa Wilson and Juliet Bennett Rylah, who will be performing her solo act of tunes on the piano.

At press time, a final list of performers had not been released, but this is a neighborhood watering hole doing something good this Sunday. So come on down for drink specials, free appetizers and great auction items from area restaurants where your contribution goes to a great cause.

Admission: $5 suggested donation
