SIOUX FALLS, (KELO AM) - The Huffington Post has named Sioux Falls as America's pinkest big city, just in time for Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. and Susan G. Komen South Dakota to paint downtown Sioux Falls pink.
"We are excited to partner with DTSF as we literally paint downtown pink in anticipation of our Race for the Cure on Sunday, September 27," said Susan G. Komen South Dakota Executive Director Mary Kolsrud. "Our 5K run/walk winds through Main and Phillips Avenues, so it's not only a great way to pink out the course for our participants, but to raise awareness for breast cancer - 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed in her lifetime - so going PINK across DTSF is a great way to get people talking!"Women are encouraged to come downtown for a fabulous ladies' night out during the Ladies Ultimate Showcase Tour on Thursday, September 24 from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. The event is part ofDowntown Pink Week, September 23-30.
