Paint the Paper Pink

Local bar & grills and their patrons show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

[November 07, 2024] For the 2024 Pink Pumpkin Auction to benefit the American Cancer Society, 15 of our local bar and grills came together to build the Logan County Pub Crawl basket.

The basket that carried a retail value of more than $600 was placed in the live auction where it brought in several hundred dollars for the annual fundraiser.

In addition to participating in the Pub Craw basket, these same businesses sat our pink pumpkin donation buckets at their cash registers, encouraging guests to drop in their change or add a buck or two as they prepared to leave the establishment.

Those donation buckets were then collected and counted by Lincoln Daily News. In the end the buckets raised another $600 for the American Cancer Society.

Two of the businesses worked hard encouraging their guests to contribute, and in the own way holding a bit of a rivalry as to which one would collect the most.

Because they worked so hard, Lincoln Daily News and the Friends and Family Relay for Life team are giving them a little special recognition. The Rusty Rail and their neighbor on Pulaski Street in Lincoln the Alley Bi Saloon collected Approximately $175 and $130 respectively. Between the two, their total made up almost half of all that was collected.

Thank you to all 15 participants.
