LONG VALLEY, NJ — With Breast Cancer Awareness Month upcoming in October and to raise funds to benefit breast cancer research, Washington Township PBA 301 is running a t-shirt sale through Thursday, Sept. 23.

The shirts, which come in either black or white, have a pink shield on the front, with a bright pink breast cancer awareness ribbon on the back, along with the words “Hope, Fight, Cure,” underneath it.
