Eight last-day events are happening on Wednesday, Oct. 31, with the arrival
of the final day for all donations to Daly Hospital Foundation’s
Color of Cancer campaign to be matched Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital.
The battle against all cancers has been brought into the community conversation
with the transformation of the annual October Breast Cancer awareness
month “Sprinkle Pink” to “Colors of Cancer.”
With the Aid for Mammography fund up to $350,000 and services provided
to nearly 1,000 breast cancer patients, organizers said it was time to expand.
Daly Hospital Foundation stepped up and its director, Stacie Duce, called
the change as “Sprinkle Pink ignited to the Colors of Cancer”
a success.
"The Daly Hospital Foundation's Board of Directors and staff have
been humbled by the generosity and creativity of our community fundraising
organizers,” Duce said. “We wanted to continue the momentum
of so many who have given over the years as well as invite new sponsors,
new groups, new individuals to initiate philanthropy according to their
passions, noble causes and tugged heart strings. The stories behind the
motivation to be involved in this "Colors of Cancer" campaign
have been very tender.”
