Press release from Hope Chest for Women:
October 2, 2018, Asheville, NC – Sky Zone Asheville will sell Limited Edition Pink Sky Socks throughout the month of October to raise awareness of breast cancer. The park will donate $1 for each pair of socks purchased to The Hope Chest for Women to help provide gas cards, groceries, pay utility bills and buy medicine for women struggling with cancer in our region. The 8000-pair sock order has a wide variety of sizes for all ages, ranging from toddler to adult, and guests don’t need to purchase a jump ticket to buy a pair. With sticky soles, the socks can be used as house shoes or during doctors’ visits—they make great gifts to brighten someone’s day or offer a little joy to friends or loved ones in need of comfort. Limited Edition Pink Sky Socks are $4, while supplies last.
Supporting Events:
Pink Firetruck On-Site at Sky Zone Asheville.
