Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is inviting guests nationwide to support a vital cause with the return of its fan-favorite collectible cup. Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the 85-year-old barbecue chain is encouraging customers to sip with purpose while raising funds for communities across the country.
What is the Dickey’s Big Pink Cup Campaign?

Now in its fifth year, the Dickey’s Big Pink Cup is a 32-ounce collectible charitable cup available for $3.99 at all participating locations nationwide starting October 1. A portion of the proceeds from every cup sold goes directly to support breast cancer screenings and early detection programs tailored for first responders across the United States.
