Yesterday, the Seymour High School Wildcat baseball team had their pink game against Oxford. In any competition there is always a winner and a loser; this game was no different, but in the end both teams are winners because as a result of their support in the fight against breast cancer, $350 was raised! That is incredible! Thank you to everyone who organized this PINK baseball...

Back in November, Seymour Pink secretly helped with the renovation of a Stone’s Throw Restaurant as part of Gordon Ramsay’s FOX TV show 24 Hours to Hell and Back. Seymour Pink board members and volunteers spent hours working on the tiles that now adorn the foyer in the updated restaurant. Unfortunately, the producers ultimately did not include Seymour Pink in the show that aired Jan. 30th, 2019. While we are a little disappointed that we weren’t included in the national TV show – we all know that this was just another example of how we support our community. I wanted to share with you what Stone’s Throw planned for last night’s viewing party. They really made it a lot of fun! Each place setting had a trivia game based on the Gordon Ramsey‘s visit. The trivia quiz contain 30 or so questions about Stone’s Throw, about Gordon Ramsey’s visit, about Tara and Peter and their family.Prizes were awarded to the top three individuals with the most correct answers. To participate in the trivia game you paid five dollars. In addition they had a 50-50 raffle. And they had a colorful game going on at the bar. All of these games that they planned, raised money and last night at the end when the show was over, Peter and Tara presented Seymour Pink with close to $1000 in money raised just from the games they use to connect all of us last night! Is that not something else or what? This was THEIR night and instead they turned around and made it our night! If you have not had a...

This time of the year can be magical! Unfortunately for some, it brings darkness instead of light. The expectations of the season for some cannot be fulfilled and with that comes disappointment and despair. Not every family has a “Norman Rockwell” holiday perfect in oh so many ways. Giving someone the gift of HOPE in their time of darkness, can bring LIGHT to those struggling!. Time and again, I have witnessed so many gifts of HOPE given by members of this community! Whether it be a monetary gift or delivery of unexpected groceries, or home cooked meals, or an unexpected appearance of Christmas gifts for families in need, or words of encouragement, a helping hand, a much needed hug… the list of gifts of HOPE that I have witnessed, is endless. The gift of HOPE is Priceless! When you bring HOPE to someone, you bring them optimism, you give them a sense that all things are possible, you give them a reason not to give up. Your Gift of HOPE brings the LIGHT needed to persevere thru darkness. To those who have financially supported our mission, for all the INCREDIBLE volunteers who have given SO many hours at our fundraising events, at our Gift Shop, for those of you who have extended a helping hand to someone struggling as a result of their breast cancer diagnosis and it’s barbaric treatment, please know YOU have brought HOPE to them AND to this community! On behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors of Seymour Pink, I want to express our deepest gratitude for ALL of the gifts of HOPE you...

This year we sent out 100 of these gift cards to those helped during the year………here is her Thank you Card…. “Dear Seymour Pink, Thank you so much for the GIFT CARD you sent!
