According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 250,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed and an estimated 25,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are expected this year.
In the Pink of Health is a group of inspired women who change lives by raising funds to impact these statistics, reduce the incidence of breast and ovarian cancer and assist survivors in their journey.
With its first event in 2001, the goal of In the Pink of Health was to educate women on how to take better care of themselves by raising awareness about women’s health issues. After the first luncheon, it was clear that there was a great power in women coming together to address a serious health issue like breast cancer. In 2014, In the Pink of Health expanded their focus to include ovarian cancer as well. To date, Memorial Hermann In the Pink of Health has raised over $5 million to fight breast and ovarian cancer through education, early detection and outreach.
Thanks to strategic community partnerships, each year In the Pink of Health funds projects that support its mission, changing the lives of women and families in Montgomery County and beyond. Free mammograms for underserved women, funds for Tomosynthesis 3-D mammography technology and educational programming make an impact on women’s health. Your support of In the Pink of Health will help continue this great work.
