Keith wanted to say "We're really grateful for the support we've received from venues across Macclesfield excited to get involved. We want as many people as possible to come out this weekend and visit venues fundraising. Pink fancy dress is encouraged, but completely optional! We just want everyone to have fun and support a worthwhile cause that can affect us all'

Bring lots of spare change, Paint Macc Pink donation buckets will be in all participating venues, as well as wrist bands available for purchase. All fundraising supports the Prevent Breast Cancer charity.

Throughout April, local businesses and community groups across Macclesfield have been joining in the fun to help Paint Macc Pink.

Pink window displays, wear pink day at work days, pink cake baking, coffee mornings and donating prizes to raffles/tombola's. All this wonderful support is boosting awareness about breast cancer and fundraising for Prevent Breast Cancer charity, the only UK charity funding vital research solely aimed at preventing breast cancer.
