Seymour PInk seeks donations to reach this year's 5K goal

SEYMOUR - As many nonprofit organizations do, Seymour Pink relies on its donations. Our 5K in October each year is our biggest source of donations!

Last year, we realized over $100,000 in donations from our 5K. This allowed us to help over 130 breast cancer patients and their families financially. Additionally, we were able to send those that applied for financial assistance last year, a $500 Visa gift card for their holiday season.

All of this happens because of the incredible generosity of our community.

We are currently at just over $26,000 in donations for the 5K.

Your donations, big or small, lift the financial burdens placed on the shoulders of our breast cancer patients due to their barbaric treatment. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Please consider becoming a fundraiser for our 5K and or donating to our 5K.

So GRATEFUL for your support!
