The American Cancer Society invited businesses and organizations to honor cancer survivors statewide this week by decorating offices in purple and also dressing in the universal color for cancer survivors.
In addition, more than 20 local businesses joined the “Paint Hawaii Purple” campaign by making a commitment to donate a portion of sales from Tuesday through Nov. 13, the organization said in a news release. Visit facebook.com/ACSHawaii Pacific for participants on all islands. On Oahu they include:

Throughout November the company will donate $1 for every bottle of Cherish Juice sold at its locations in Kailua, Moiliili and downtown at Pioneer Plaza. Visit drinkjugolife.com.
