Charlotte friends, please join me at Dilworth Billiards on Thursday, May 26 from 6:30-9pm as we raise money for The Cause  — breast cancer research and breast health care.

Drink Pink

Dilworth Billiards will offer four pink drinks and donate $1 for each sold:

• Pink Lemonade $2.75 (virgin, as requested by yours truly!)
• Spiked Pink Lemonade $5
• Cape Cod (vodka/cranberry) $5
• Cosmopolitan $5.

Eat Pink

We’ll be served a selection of Italian sandwiches by Napolitano’s food truck.  Menu includes: Sausage peppers & onions * Chicken Parmesan *Italian beef *Zeppoli with a 20% donation to the cause — doesn’t get any better than that!

Think Pink

Green Market Girl will offer pre-ordered Special Edition BC Eco Cuffs, donating $9 for each one to Breast Cancer Research Foundation

At 7:30 or 8, Dilworth Billiards’ trivia hostess focuses on our pink ribbon topic, NASCAR (Memorial Day means racin’ here in Charlotte) and other news items.

I’m inviting everyone to pitch in to decorate a bike bra for The Cause. I’ll provide the bras and my friends at Beadlush will provide decorating materials, you provide the $10 entry fee and imagination.  Another option is to bring your own pre-decorated bra.

I’ll choose a bra for my bike to wear across the country and bring the others to Kickstands UP, where they’ll be auctioned for The Cause.  I believe we can gin up some local media coverage  so let’s decorate some made-for-prime-time bras.

Here are some pictures of other blinged out bras that my fellow bikers have already created.

Special THANKS to CLTDINING, the premier, one-stop online resource all about dining in Charlotte, North Carolina.  You pulled together a great team with Dilworth Billiards and Napolitano’s!
