Westwood neighbors will be painting the town pink and dressing as witches Thursday evening to support the downtown and raise money to help breast cancer patients

The second annual Pink Witches Night Out event is coming back to downtown, with visitors encouraged to dress up in pink as they trick-or-treat, shop, listen to music and eat food.

Kimberly Aluotto, owner of Westwood Candy Company, helped bring the event to the borough for the first time last year. Aluotto previously lived in Denville, which has held a Pink Witches Night Out for about a decade.

The staff at Threads, a clothing store in Westwood, prepare for the Pink Witches Night Out, which helps raises money for breast cancer patients.

“It's a nice cause that's all about community and businesses," said Aluotto. "It's always a feel-good thing for us ladies to get out and share our experiences."

Proceeds support Spoil Me Pink

Ticket sales, which were still available as of Thursday morning, will go towards Spoil Me Pink, a nonprofit that gives a day of beauty and pampering to fighters and survivors of breast cancer.
