We're going pink in October in support of Babes4Breasts

We’ve switched our logo and masthead on OttawaStart to pink this month to raise awareness for Babes4Breasts and their efforts to raise funds for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.  There are several events on the go this month, including:

 * 
On Saturday, October 20 at 8:00pm, Babes4Breasts hold their annual benefit concert at Saint Brigid's Centre for the Arts (310 Patrick Street).
**
**
The concert features Suzie Vinnick, Ann Vriend, Amanda Rheaume, Robyn Dell’Unto and Ana Miura in a song circle. It's an authentic, intimate and fun night of music benefitting the ORCF Survivorship Centre’s Music Therapy program.
