 OAKWOOD CENTER PARTNERS WITH WE LIFT YOU UP AND UNITED BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION FOR PINK BAG SECOND LINE EVENT AND FOOD DRIVE BENEFITING SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK
 
Join us as we host a series of events to raise awareness for breast cancer and
 fight to end hunger in South Louisiana

The United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) and You Night Events are partnering with Oakwood Center for a variety of activities to support breast cancer survivors and those currently battling breast cancer.
 
UBCF will donate 150 “Pink Bags” filled with fabulous products for breast cancer patients and survivors. Oakwood Center will be collecting food donations (with a focus on therapeutic and nutritional items) at Center Court, for Second Harvest Food Bank throughout the month of October.
 
Oakwood Center is going…PINK; with pennants and banners throughout the center, hand painted selfie wall by local artist, MJ Jones Fine Art - with #oakwoodcenter hashtag opportunities, a PINK balloon arch, a PINK fountain, door prizes, retailer’s PINK window displays and mall staff and patrons wearing PINK on Saturday, October 25, 2025.  Throw on some pink, bring your second line umbrellas or handkerchiefs and come join Oakwood Center’s Pink Second Line as we parade around the mall, starting from Center Court. Our Grand Marshal, the honorable Tim Kerner, Jr., Jefferson Parish District 1 Councilman will lead the Pink Second Line along with the New Orleans famous ladies marching groups: “The Pussyfooters”, “The Jefferson Parish Golden Agers’ Toe the Line” dance group, the “NOLA Bombshells” and Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors, care givers, loved ones and the community, all in PINK!  
 
After the PINK Second Line, the 150 “Pink Bags” donated by UBCF, will be distributed to pre-registered breast cancer survivors and patients through You Night’s “We Lift You Up” (see contact information below), who holds year-round programs to help women embrace life beyond cancer. Great American Cookies will have two huge PINK cookies for the occasion.  Please visit oakwoodcenter.com website for more event information and list of most needed food items for Second Harvest Food Bank.
