Sunset Park group to be recognized by American Cancer Society for breast cancer event
A local Sunset Park business is being rewarded for its hard work raising awareness for breast cancer.
Screen printing and clothing store Cotton Hustle, 5012 Third Avenue, collaborated with its own motorcycle club this past October and held a fundraiser for the disease by donning pink shirts, riding around the neighborhood and throwing a party afterwards. The event was such a success that the American Cancer Society took notice and will reward the group for their efforts on Saturday, January 14.
“They wanted to recognize us for our efforts as a small business based out of Brooklyn,” said organizer Jose Rosario. “We went from Brooklyn, all through Queens into Manhattan and back to Brooklyn. We went around showing our pink shirts and spreading breast cancer awareness.”
