Want to shop for a cause this Saturday? Help support a great local group: GrannyCon! The Katz Meow will donate 10% of all sales to their partner 501c3: BCPP - Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. It is the leading science-based advocacy organization working to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation.
Here's more about GrannyCon:
Celebrating Women,
Fighting Breast Cancer
GrannyCon brings folks together for a cause that’s serious — preventing breast cancer — with a vibe that’s joyful, mischievous, and deeply rooted in love for our neighborhood. Whether you’re a Granny, a Grampa, or a ‘Grand-them,’ all are welcome to dress up and fight for the women we love.
What began as a wild idea has transformed into an annual tradition with hundreds of participating businesses and community members raising tens of thousands of dollars for life-saving breast cancer research, education and legislation.
GrannyCon is a rollicking, bingo-style scavenger hunt down Alameda’s beloved Park Street, taking place each March around International Women’s Day. By dressing up in full granny gear, we celebrate the heroic ladies who have come before us and the wise older women we are or aspire to be someday. Activities at participating businesses, optional food and drink specials, an afterparty with special guests and costume contest are all part of the fun.
