October Events in Birmingham

Blue Goes Pink Restaurant Tour

Every year, ARC Realty swap our signature blue for pink to support breast cancer research. This year, we are proud to partner with local restaurants for a Blue Goes Pink Restaurant Tour. During their date and allotted time, each restaurant will donate a portion of their sales to the campaign. Dine with us this October and help fund breast cancer research right here in Alabama!
