You've heard about painting the town red, well, in Westland the color is pink at least for the month of October.
Jim Kollar's imaboobist.com is partnering with former Miss Michigan Ashlee Baracy in a monthlong city-wide fund-raiser to benefit the Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure.
“We're really excited about this, it'll have a positive effect on the city,” said Kollar, who created the .com as a fund-raiser for breast cancer awareness.
“We're seeing a tremendous number of local businesses willing to help,” said Baracy, who made breast cancer awareness her platform for Miss Michigan and her bid for Miss America because of mother Janet's battle with the disease. She has been cancer-free for six years.
“We're seeing a tremendous number of local businesses willing to help,” she said. “We see this as a boost for the local economy.”
The idea is simple: “Paint the Town Pink” is partnering with local restaurants to designate dates when each one will donate a portion of the day's profits to the Race for the Cure. Baracy and Kollar already have Buffalo Wild Wings sign up to donate 20 percent of the sales 11 a.m. to closing Oct. 5, and are working with several other restaurants. Kollar's hope is to have two restaurants each week participate this year.
