Event summary

Join us for the uplifting 2024 Discover Pink virtual walk/run, taking place throughout October! This empowering event promotes breast cancer awareness and emphasizes the crucial role of early detection through screening. It’s not just a race; it’s a movement aimed at raising vital funds for the Project Access Network's Breast Health Program, which connects underserved individuals in Marion and Polk Counties to essential breast healthcare services.

By participating in Discover Pink, you’ll be part of a community effort that has already made a significant impact, raising nearly $13,000 in 2023 alone. These funds helped ten local women undergoing breast cancer treatment with critical expenses like rent, utilities, and insurance, providing them with much-needed relief during challenging times. Let’s unite in October 2024 to surpass last year’s achievements and help even more individuals in need. Lace up your shoes, spread the word, and make a difference while promoting health and hope!

Organiser's Description

Discover Pink is a virtual walk/run held during the month of October that promotes awareness of the importance of screening in the early detection of breast cancer while raising important dollars for PROJECT ACCESS NETWORKS BREAST HEALTH PROGRAM, which connects the underserved in Marion and Polk Counties to needed breast health care.

Project Access Network (PAN) partners with area healthcare providers to connect to donated care those who have exhausted all of their options. PAN community health workers then help with overcoming barriers to accessing this care, such as language and transportation, ensuring that an average of 98% of patients attend their appointments.

In 2023, Discover Pink raised just under $13,000, netting just under $12,000 (we keep our expenses low!). With this, we were able to help 10 women in Marion & Polk Counties in active breast cancer treatment to pay bills like rent, utilities, car payments, and insurance. The funds allowed them a bit of relief during a stressful and expensive time in their lives.

With your support, we'll raise more money in 2024 and be able to help more people!

Discover Pink es una caminata/carrera virtual que se lleva a cabo durante el mes de octubre para promover la concienciaci'on sobre la importancia de la detecci'on temprana del c'ancer de mama, mientras recauda fondos importantes para EL PROGRAMA DE SALUD MAMARIA DE PROJECT ACCESS NETWORK, que conecta a las personas desatendidas en los condados de Marion y Polk con la atenci'on de salud mamaria necesaria.

Project Access Network (PAN) se asocia con proveedores de atenci'on m'edica locales para conectar a los cuidados donados a aquellos que han agotado todas sus opciones. Los trabajadores comunitarios de salud de PAN luego ayudan a superar las barreras para acceder a esta atenci'on, como el idioma y el transporte, asegurando que un promedio del 98% de los pacientes asistan a sus citas.

En 2023, Discover Pink recaud'o poco menos de $13,000, con un ingreso neto de poco menos de $12,000 (!mantenemos nuestros gastos bajos!). Con esto, pudimos ayudar a 10 mujeres en los condados de Marion y Polk en tratamiento activo de c'ancer de mama a pagar facturas como alquiler, servicios p'ublicos, pagos de autom'oviles y seguros. Los fondos les permitieron un poco de alivio durante un momento estresante y costoso en sus vidas.
