More than 20 men got in touch with their feminine sides Saturday, but all for a good cause.

The second annual Red, White and Pink — an event where men dress in women’s clothing to seek donations for the American Heart Association and the Lyle Area Cancer Auction — at Oak Park Mall raised almost $2,600 Saturday, according to preliminary estimates.
