So, what is this ‘Paint the Town Pink‘ that’s suddenly being touted all over downtown Red Bank?
Ah, you must be new to town.
Also known as “Pink Bank,” it’s an annual weeklong series of events, now in its fourth year, that’s organized by Riverview Medical Center and Red Bank RiverCenter to promote breast cancer detection and prevention.
In the process, it’s meant to liven up the retail district and inject some fun into spring. It all kicks off Saturday.
