We are excited to unveil our 2024 Event Calendar for Seymour Pink hosted events!
The first event will be A Pink Night to Remember held at The Waterview in Monroe, CT on Friday, March 22, 2024 from 6 to 10 pm. This event is a great way for our community to come together and celebrate our mission, honor survivors and enjoy a great night of food, drinks and comradery. This year’s event is dedicated to the memory of our Vice President, Colleen Fries who also was the chairperson of this very event for year.
Attendees receive a complimentary blush sparkling wine upon arrival and can enjoy a variety of cold and hot hors d’oeuvres and food stations, open bar and beer garden. The hallmark of this event is nearly 100 premium raffles, a silent auction and a not-to-be-missed entertaining LIVE auction. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, February 11th at 9 AM EST.
Our 15th Annual Pasta Dinner will take place on Monday, April 22, 2024 at The Brookside Inn in Oxford, CT. This is the event that started it all. When founder, Mary Deming, set out to raise funds for her Susan G. Komen walk in 2007, owners Sara and Gary Morgatto agreed to host a pasta dinner to help her fundraising efforts. At this event, what is most special is the raffle baskets that are donated and built in honor or in memory of breast cancer patients. Each basket tells a heartfelt story about the person it is made for and builds our community’s story.
Our Golf Tournament will once again be held at Woodhaven Country Club in Bethany, CT this year on Saturday, June 8, 2024. This 9-hole tournament has multiple options to tee off at 7:30 am, 10:30 am, or 2 pm. Various prizes and fun await you on the course including hole in one contests, closest to the pin and entertainment.
Our 13th Annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5k Road Race will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024. Always taking place on the first Saturday in October, this event has been going on each year since our first running in 2011. This event draws close to 3,000 runners and walkers and nearly the same number of spectators along the USA Track & Field certified 5k (3.1 mile) course. Registration opens July 1st with early bird pricing specials for two weeks. Run, walk or cheer in the fight against breast cancer!
Seymour Pink Day has been proclaimed as the third Wednesday of October, this year on October 16th. This day allows us to celebrate our mission and spread awareness for our organization and breast cancer. Think Pink, Wear Pink, Decorate Pink! Local businesses and community organizations take part through wearing our annual Seymour Pink T-Shirt and turning their buildings pink in all ways possible. We celebrate this night at Hot Tamale Mexican Restaurant & Bar in Seymour with door prizes, pink drink specials and live music.
Lastly, our Night of Appreciation is our give back night to honor all who have fundraised for us, supported us and attended events throughout the year. Stay tuned for details about this event later in the year.
More information about all of these events can be found on our website event specific pages. Our ‘Calendar of Events’ page is updated regularly. There are also a large number of community events hosted on our behalf that occur throughout the year including pink sports nights, business events or fundraisers which will appear on the calendar as well.

We look forward to seeing you at these events throughout the year!
