The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is coming up on Sunday, September 23. If you haven’t done the walk/run before, you’ve no doubt heard of it. It’s a classy event, for a great cause. (Sadly, too many of us have intersected breast cancer at some point in our lives.)

If you end up being one of the 50,000 runners or walkers, or even if you just want to contribute the old-fashioned way, I just learned that there will be a big After Party in the Pearl.

The walk/run goes from 11-4. So, when you’re done, why not treat yourself to Pepe and the Bottle Blondes (a lot of fun!), other live music, speakers and even, apparently, a fashion show? Not to mention, many of the stores and members of the Pearl District Business Association will be donating a portion of Sunday’s sales to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation – so IF you need an excuse to got shopping on Sunday, know that it will be going to a good cause.

Till later,

Emily
