Titled “Pink Out the Firehouse,” this year’s Profit Share will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will feature the Old Central Firehouse donating 10% of all profits made during that time to the LWBIWH.
Additionally, an accompanying online Silent Auction is now open and will run to the end of the Profit Share event on Oct. 16. The online auction features 70 items donated by a wide variety of local businesses and civic groups, including:
- The Carriage

- Free Rein Coffee
- Elite Physique
- Jey’s Saddlery
- Gandy Ink

The auction website is located at https://one.bidpal.net/pinkoutthefirehouse. All proceeds from the Silent Auction will go to the LWBIWH’s Team Pink initiative, which serves those undergoing breast cancer treatment in San Angelo by helping them purchase essential items needed while receiving chemotherapy and radiation.
