Yesterday, Seymour Pink presented a check for $10,000 to Pat Charmel for Griffin Hospital Development Fund.These monies will support the the ability of Griffin Hospital Hewitt Breast Wellness Center to utilize a less invasive, less caustic option for treating breast cancer called Stereotactic Radiosurgery. It is a “must have” technology for progressive cancer centers. Currently, those patients who are candidates for this treatment are referred to satellite cancer/medical/surgical centers. I want to personally thank Colleen Garofalo, Secretary of Seymour Pink and Christine Vartko, Treasurer of Seymour Pink, for making this presentation happen yesterday! AND thank YOU…ALL who support the FIGHT against breast cancer…your support is and will continue to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives impacted by this horrific...

In the spirit of sharing with ALL of you, who have given so much support in so many ways to PINK this year and EVERY year, on December 6th, the Officers and Board members of PINK voted on the distribution of over $55,000 this month to those experiencing financial hardship as a result of their breast cancer diagnosis. Additionally, we were able to grant $10,000 to Griffin Hospital. Hewitt Breast Center for Wellness to support them bringing radio-surgery (cyber-knife) to our community. This treatment will allow patients of local doctors to have their treatment here at Griffin rather than having to be referred to satellite care/surgical centers. It is HUGE and we are extremely proud to be part of this project. Please know that because of your many acts of kindness and GIVING, YOU have helped lessened the financial burdens of so many men, women and their families this holiday season! THANK YOU and God Bless you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Mary...

Yesterday 5th Annual POUNDING the PAVEMENT for PINK 5K was extremely emotional for me. I am trying to process the why? Was it the 2400 runners/walkers? Was it reaching and surpassing our goal of raising $60,000 in donations ( Looks more like $66,000 right now) 🙂 <3 Was it the 126 breast cancer survivors that registered and or shared breakfast with us? Was it the 126 PINK corsages donated by the Guillette family in memory of Jeannine Guillette Starnes, taken at the age of 40 from breast cancer, and in HONOR of their niece Tea Fernandez 2 years old, diagnosed with neuroblastoma, fighting the fight of her life? Was the honor guard and the singing of the National Anthem? Was it all of the very generous sponsors? Was it the VOLUNTEERS in their BLUE staff shirts doing everything and anything that needed to be done to make yesterday happen? Was it the PINK CAR being pushed by some pretty incredible town officials making a statement about our COMMUNITY!…Or was it the drone? ( LOL) YES it was a combination of all of those BUT…the biggest reason…was YOU! ALL of YOU who came out and brought with SUNSHINE…SUPPORT…HOPE …LOVE in the FIGHT against this HORRIFIC disease!!!!!!!!!! Although many of us are trying to find the right words to describe something indescribable,YOU and I could FEEL and SEE it yesterday! Your ENERGY made the 5K ROCK! So as shallow as the words may seem, THANK YOU…to the MOON and BACK again! With the deepest GRATITUDE, Mary Deming PS…I think we lived up to our mantra…GO BIG or GO...
