This October, we're celebrating 15 years of PINK Power, our exercise program for breast cancer survivors led by certified Post-Rehabilitative Breast Cancer Exercise Specialists. Since 2011, PINK Power has served hundreds of women across the Bay Area through more than 13,000 personalized training sessions.

Ways to show your support this month include:
  • PINK Tuesdays | Sept. 29 - Oct. 27 | Farmers Market Pop-Up | PJCC
    • Wear PINK and shop merchandise, produce, and baked goods from 9 am - 1 pm.
  • Lazy Dog Fundraiser | Oct. 1 - 31 | Lazy Dog, San Mateo
    • Use code 01SanMateo and 15% of proceeds go to PINK Power.
  • Pints for PINK | Oct. 8 | Out of the Barrel Tap Room, San Carlos
    • Enjoy drinks and line dancing with LineDancingLisa from 6 - 8 pm.
  • PINK Power Day | Oct. 25 | PJCC
    • Join us for Pilates, a dance party, adoptable pets, and a local marketplace.
  • Erik's Deli Fundraiser | Oct. 25 | Erik's Deli, Foster City
    • Mention PINK POWER when you order to support breast cancer awareness.
We've set a goal of raising $15,000 for the PINK Power program. Your generous gift will help us achieve this goal as we say, together: L'Chaim! (To Life!)
