Throughout September, each of Newk’s 100-plus restaurants nationwide will turn teal, the signature color of the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance.

Newk’s in Gulfport is all set with teal signage, collectable cups, donation ribbons, and more to get the fundraiser started.

Lori Newcomb, founder of Newk’s Cares and wife of Newk’s Eatery Co-founder and CEO, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2013 and lost that battle in 2019.

To this day, her vision and dedication help Newk’s raise research funds and invaluable awareness of the disease.

Guests will be offered…

SUMMARY: After three years apart, Bella the 17-year-old cat has reunited with the Ferrell and Speese families on Meadowview Circle.
