Strides RewardsTeam CITY Cares - Broward
CITY Furniture & Ashley invite you to be a part of our Pink Pumpkins campaign this October.
The Pink Pumpkins got their start with Doreen Koenig, mom of CEO Andrew Koenig, who everyone thought of as the CITY mom. She was always known for her philanthropy, and one of her biggest causes was ending breast cancer, long before she was diagnosed in 2015.
As Doreen reached the end of her brave battle, she had the idea to give out thousands of pink pumpkin buckets in our stores and around our community. It was her special and cute wish to fill the community with the color of hope for breast cancer awareness. Her idea is that moms and families everywhere in South Florida would be using these pink pumpkin buckets on Halloween, and that this would spread some awareness to the cause—ending breast cancer. Through our Pink Pumpkins Campaign, we have set a goal to raise $265,000 this year to provide life-saving access to breast cancer screenings and transportation to treatment. Join us with a donation to the American Cancer Society here on our Making Strides fundraising page or visit us in any CITY Furniture or SFL Ashley showroom to test rest a mattress - we'll give $10 to ACS on your behalf!

Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

Strides RewardsThis isn’t what I wanted.
Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.
There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.
How We Support the American Cancer Society
Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.
Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
