Local Restaurants Give Back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Posted on: October 12th, 2015 by Taryn Jeffries 2 Comments

I come from a very large family; my maternal grandmother had 14 children (7 boys and 7 girls) and my paternal grandmother bore 3 sons and 2 daughters. Over the years this has equated to lots of wonderful memories of huge family gatherings, having too many cousins to be able to count and a powerful family bond.Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sadly, this has also meant that there has been loss in our large family, so painful that even those huge numbers cannot brace you. Our family has lost 3 amazing women to breast cancer; 3 women that had a huge impact on who I have come to be as an adult. One of those losses came with a warning, one wasn’t spoken about until after the fact and one came on in such an aggressive and violent manner that I had just enough time to fly home to say goodbye before it was over.

The point of sharing this is to prove that breast cancer is unpredictable and can affect any family, large or small.

Throughout the month of October there are several local restaurants that are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating a portion of their proceeds to the cause.

Chompie’s
Various Valley Locations

Valley Chompie’s have created a special pink bagel and will donate a portion of the sales to Singleton Moms.

The best photo of the week will receive a bagel box.
