The Lowcountry Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is challenging all area businesses to show their support and creativity as we gear up for this year's Race for the Cure. Businesses that participate in this year's Pink for the Cure competition will decorate their storefronts in a pink theme and will be judged on creativity, breast cancer awareness and the ultimate pink pizzazz. Theme and decorations are to be determined by each participating business and a Race for the Cure poster must be displayed in the window. Winners will be announced on the all area radio stations, as well as on ABC News 4 Lowcountry Live. The grand prize winner will also have a live radio remote broadcast from their business. Please note these important dates:

Wednesday, Sept.29 - Registration Deadline

Friday, Oct. 1 - Window Displays Up

Monday, Oct. 4 - Judging Begins

Friday, Oct.15 - Winners Announced on Lowcountry Live/Live Radio Remote

Saturday, Oct. 16 - Join us at the Race
