DOCO Al Fresco to “Paint the Plaza Pink” on October 17 to Support American Cancer Society’s Local “Making Strides Sacramento”
-- Golden 1 Center will Glow Pink to Support the Cause and
Raise Awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month --
Sacramento, Calif. – DOCO (Downtown Commons), the Sacramento Kings and Golden 1 Center will “Paint the Plaza Pink” on Saturday, October 17, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to raise awareness and show support for the American Cancer Society’s local “Making Strides Sacramento” effort. The community is invited to a special dining experience from 6 to 9 p.m. that evening with live music, pink-inspired “DOCO Al Fresco” food and drink specials, an opportunity for day-of donors to win a $500 prize package (that includes an overnight stay at the Kimpton Sawyer along with other DOCO merchant gift cards), and more. As an event highlight, Golden 1 Center will glow pink beginning at dusk. To help raise funds for the important cause, interested community members are invited to make a $10 donation for a personalized pink luminary bag that they can decorate on-site.
“For the first time in history, the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives and celebrate lives free from cancer is at risk,” said Sonya Silva, Senior Community Development Manager, American Cancer Society. “Fighting breast cancer during a pandemic is heartbreaking for so many reasons and the American Cancer Society is facing the harsh reality that lack of funds could reduce the ability to fund cancer research by a devastating 50 percent in 2020 – the lowest investment this century if current trends continue. An entire generation of research progress and the future that it holds depends on what we do right now. So, let’s unite at DOCO to ‘Paint the Plaza Pink’ and make strides against this disease.”
A portion of the “DOCO Al Fresco” proceeds from October 17 will be donated to “Making Strides Sacramento” to help in the fight against breast cancer. A sampling of the “DOCO Al Fresco” food and drink specialty menu items available that day include a Homemade Pink Strawberry Ice Cream Pint from Local Eats, a Tahoe Blue Vodka Pink Lemonade drink special from Tahoe Blue Ridge Bar, and more. While walk-ins are welcome, advance reservations for “DOCO Al Fresco” are encouraged and can be made online at DOCOSacramento.com/AlFresco.
Parking validation is available at most DOCO tenants with a purchase, including for “DOCO Al Fresco” diners. Convenient “to-go” parking is also available at 7th & K Streets for curbside pick-ups.
An outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the heart downtown Sacramento, DOCO remains open with safety modifications in place. Convenient parking is available in DOCO’s central garage with an entrance on J Street between 4th & 5th Streets. The elevators and escalators take guests up to the plaza’s main level and terrace near many of the restaurants, eateries, and retail tenants.
