Pink Out For Hope launches 10th annual ‘Paint the Town Pink’ contest

Pink Out For Hope (POFH) is calling on local businesses to turn their storefronts pink this October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The nonprofit’s 10th annual Paint the Town Pink contest is open to businesses in Pleasant View, Ashland City, Pegram, Kingston Springs and Joelton. Participants are encouraged to get creative and decorate their storefronts with original pink-themed displays.

Decorations must be in place by Oct. 1 and remain outside for judging. Judges will select winners from each community by Oct. 15, with results announced on POFH’s Facebook page on Oct. 19. Each winner will earn the traveling Paint the Town Pink trophy to display at their business for the year.

Entries will be judged on theme, originality and effort, with scores tallied to determine the winners. Businesses can access the registration form here.

Past winners include United Community Bank in Pegram, the Town of Kingston Springs, SKYKING Pizza in Kingston Springs, the Kingston Springs Pharmacy and Riversprings Dental in Kingston Springs.

The Paint the Town Pink contest is one of several events hosted by POFH to raise awareness and funds for local breast cancer patients in Cheatham County.

Meanwhile, registration is also open for the nonprofit’s 12th annual Booby Bolt 5K and Kids Fun Run, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4 at Pleasant View Community Park. The Booby Bolt is POFH’s largest fundraiser, drawing hundreds of runners and walkers each year to support local families affected by breast cancer.
