Try to explain, to capture the essence of last night. It’s an impossible task because there were so many emotions, so much energy in the room that each of us experienced at different levels. So I would just give my reflection of what last night meant through my eyes. HOPE! it was all about hope. What is Hope? For me, it is the belief that despite the darkness of circumstances that may surround you, the light will shine again and darkness will be gone. It is a trust! Trust in yourself, trust in your friends, trust in your family, trust in a community, trust in a greater power than self! HOPE could be seen and felt last night at our Pink Night to Remember! It was the smiles on the faces of those who, despite being in the midst of their barbaric breast cancer treatment, were feeling the love and support in the room. It was the smiles on the faces of the their loved ones as they watched them having fun, socializing, bonding with fellow BC “sistas”. It was, once again, the the depth our community, united in the Fight against breast cancer, showed last night. HOPE is so powerful! HOPE is therapeutic; it has a healing impact. Many felt that healing! Last night was a night of HOPE , a night filled with the feeling that despite the darkness of the Breast cancer diagnosis, there is LIGHT. It was palpable, you could feel it! It truly was “A Pink Night to Remember”! And each and everyone of you made last night happen through your volunteering through your...

Seymour Pink recognized in Starbucks’s Project Give Good Throughout December, Starbucks is giving out $1 Million in Starbucks gift cards. Unexpected acts, large or small, can be so meaningful that even years later, they’ll be warmly remembered. “The inspiration behind Project Give Good is simple, we want to brighten the holidays and delight our customers,” said Kris Engskov, executive vice president of U.S. Retail for Starbucks. “The holidays are here and good is in the air. We hope Project Give Good will continue all the good in our communities and keep it going and growing, because good is contagious and giving is too.” Seymour Pink was nominated by Cassandra Dessureau-O’Hara, the manager of Starbucks of Seymour. “I believe this organization deserves the recognition because there are far too many men and women getting the breast cancer diagnosis and during their time of need, Seymour Pink is there to bring them a little light in the face of terrible darkness.” Cassandra presented Mary Deming, Seymour Pink founder and President with 25 gift cards worth $20 each. In 2017, Seymour Pink has donated $25,000 to Smilow Cancer Center to helping women currently receiving chemotherapy to use the Scalp Cooling Modality minimizing hair loss. They have approved 110 applications for financial assistance to people undergoing treatment, so that they can focus on their fight and not their bills.

Seymour Pink was given the honor in 2017 of being a charity partner at the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. This was...
