Phillyist's quick-picks for a rock your socks off start to the weekend.

               

On Friday night, Sisters Nightclub (1320 Chancellor St) held the first of several Pink parties: the Pretty in Pink Runway Contest. Parties are being held this month as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the 3-Day Breast Cancer 60 Mile Walk. Contestants got their pink on in front of a very enthusiastic audience. The winner was Deb from Deptford.

Head to Northern Liberties tonight to eat at any of the many establishments that will be donating 50% of tonight's business to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Participating eateries will apparently be serving "breast-inspired foods", so check out the details and fill up for First Friday. The launch party already started (4pm to 6pm) at North 3rd (801 N 3rd St) so get going!

Phillyist likes supporting good causes, and you can’t get a better cause than breasts. Our lip service pales in comparison, though, to the efforts of five local women, who are raising money to participate in 2008 Philadelphia Breast Cancer 3-Day this October. Each walker must raise $2,200 to take part in the 60-mile trek, and the women, collectively known as Team Bosom Babes, are turning to a time-honored Philly tradition to meet their goal: the Beef & Beer. Join them Saturday, along with WXPN DJ Robert Drake and local band The Modern Hypocrites, at the First Unitarian Church for an evening of music, food from Whole Foods, lots of Victory beer, prizes… and do it all knowing that you are supporting an important cause and allowing people to take part in a rigorous event that, let’s face it, most of us couldn’t hack.
