I declare, by the power vested in me by no one, yet supported by my amazing friends in real life, and hopefully on the interwebz, that this year,  Friday October 23, 2009 will be the chosen day for the OFFICIAL Pink Ribbon Edition Snuggie Pub Crawl for Breast Cancer Awareness across the nation. On this evening, we’ll be hosting a local Snuggie pub crawl event, and we think you should organize one in your area too!

Ever since the As Seen On TV product became a selling sensation (even if it is because of its slightly humorous appeal) informally to formally organized “Snuggie Pub Crawls” started popping up across the nation. Massive groups of Snuggie enthusiasts have been seen in various locales toasting to its toasty-ness!

This month, in honor of the 2009 Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Snuggie™ to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation coinciding with the nation’s annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a group of us decided to organize and host our own Pink Ribbon Snuggie Pub Crawl in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 23rd, 2009. Our goals for this event are to: have a ton of fun, raise awareness for breast cancer, and hopefully, also raise a little money for a local breast cancer organization along the way.

We know what you’re thinking – but wait, you can’t have a pub crawl in Salt Lake City, Utah! Thanks to the private club scrubbing power of the Utah lawmakers, ever since July 1st, memberships to Utah bars are a thing of the past. It’s easier than ever to enjoy an adult beverage or Designated Driver dr pepper at the libation station of your choice. This fact has been scientifically proven by the large bar crawl event held in July to celebrate the change in the laws:

We’ll be setting up our official stops (although I think it will be far less than 14) in the next few weeks, setting up potential donations from the hosts bars or anyone else who wants to contribute, to be donated to a local Salt Lake City organization dedicated to breast cancer awareness and support. While we won’t have the advantage of free bus transportation and cab fare, we encourage anyone attending one of these events to drink responsibly and have a designated driver.

You too, can plan your own October 23rd Pink Ribbon Snuggie Pub Crawl for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2009 in just THREE easy steps:

1. Secure a pink ribbon Snuggie for yourself and tell your friends.
2. Read these tips on how to plan a successful Snuggie Pub Crawl.
3. See if you can set up a fundraising effort with pub hosts or create a donation page for your local event, and find a local breast cancer related charity to support.

Even if you don’t set up a formal fundraiser, you can still organize or participate in a Pink Ribbon Snuggie Pub Crawl to raise awareness and have a blast doing it.

Tell us where you’ll be participating a Pink Ribbon Snuggie Pub Crawl on October 23rd to spread the word!
