GREENDALE, Wis. (CBS 58) – Southridge Mall is joining the fight against breast cancer by participating in the Susan G. Komen More than Pink movement.

During the month of October, the mall's exterior will be lit with pink lights and staff will wear pink accessories in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The mall will also sell $5 discount cards providing 15% or 25% off one item at participating retailers. All proceeds from the sale of discount cards go to Susan G. Komen. Susan G. Komen Visa® Simon gift cards are also available, and for every gift card purchased, Simon will donate $1 towards Susan G. Komen.

Other planned activities include:

· More Than Pink Hero Wall: The More Than Pink Hero Wall is an opportunity for survivors and their families to visually articulate their strength during their fight against breast cancer.
