Pink Power Luncheon goes virtual!
More than 80 people attended our virtual 11th Annual Pink Power Luncheon Oct. 23. Keynote speaker Liz Benditt, a four-time cancer survivor and the president of Balm Box, gave the presentation, “The Finish Line is the Starting Line.” She shared her inspirational story of going from cancer patient to “cancer-preneur” and demonstrated that the finish line does not have to be the end of the journey; it can represent a new beginning.
This free event, co-sponsored by Susan G. Komen Kansas & Western Missouri, usually offers lunch. We couldn’t do that this time, but we did still distribute health information and door prizes.
An event highlight video is available on the Pink Power Luncheon page.

Our thanks to everyone who bought Fighting for a Cure shirts and united in wearing them Oct. 24 to raise awareness and funds for K-State cancer research! More than $9,000 was raised, despite the challenges of the pandemic! Thanks also to our retail partner 1419 Mercantile, in Manhattan, and to the K-State Cancer Fighters for helping sell events.

Watch for a new shirt design this year!
