The Hispanic Coalition joined the celebration of Pink Out Day for Breast Cancer Awareness, getting the St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation pink shirts to support their fundraising campaign, promoting the Breast Cancer Awareness. The event was held on Thursday, October 20th at the Waterbury City Hall.
Waterbury’s citywide Pink Out is a true community effort to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds for Saint Mary’s Hospital Foundation’s breast patient assistance fund. This year St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation raised more than $35,000 to provide breast health services to women in need. 100% of funds raised support the Saint Mary’s Hospital Foundation’s Breast Screening Fund. Annually, this program provides free screening and diagnostic to more than 150 local women.
The City of Waterbury, Waterbury Fire Department, Waterbury Police Department, local schools, and businesses were Pink Out community partners through sponsorship, charitable donation, purchase of shirts, or by creating their own fundraiser.
La Casa Bienvenida and Riba Aspira members also supported the event.
