9 cocktails to support breast cancer awareness
Everyone likes to support Breast Cancer Awareness in October. There are any number of ways, from walks to cupcakes to simple, silicone bracelets. Even bars want to give a little back. That's why this month, a handful of Valley bars and restaurants are shaking and stirring pink-themed cocktails to benefit causes related to Breast Cancer Awareness.
Here is where you can find them, and do good while you're feeling good.
RA Sushi
The trendy Japanese restaurant RA Sushi thinks philanthropy should have company, so it's offering a food and drink combo, with 100 percent of the proceeds to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. Through Nov. 15, all five Valley locations will feature a ONEHOPE Wine and a pink roll special for $15. The shrimp and crab roll is wrapped in a pink soy paper and served with a pink ribbon of strawberry sauce.

Geisha A Go Go
You're drinking it anyway, so it might make you happy to know that a portion from all Hello Kitty drinks sold at Geisha A Go Go will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Haven't had one? Well, try to remember the last time drinking Skyy Citrus vodka mixed with fruit infused sake and Japanese strawberry soda defined philanthropy.
