In an inspiring display of community support, the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centreโ€™s (SLBMC) annual PINKparty raised record funds to support cancer care and early detection.

Now in its 12th year, the PINKparty continues to bring together individuals, organizations, and businesses united by one causeโ€”to strengthen breast cancer care and help the hospital acquire a new mammogram system valued at approximately $250,000 USD.

โ€œLike other public institutions, we face mounting budget constraints; yet the urgency of breast cancerโ€”its prevention, detection, and treatmentโ€”cannot wait,โ€ said ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—บ๐—ฎ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฝ, ๐—ฆ๐—Ÿ๐—•๐— ๐—– ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด & ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€. โ€œAnything we can do to enhance the care we provide canโ€™t come fast enoughโ€”for patients, for their loved ones, and for us. That includes ensuring we have a reliable mammogram service.

Over the years, weโ€™ve heard countless stories from families, friends, and colleagues affected by this diseaseโ€”and that shared urgency is what unites us.

This year, we had the most group registrations everโ€”thatโ€™s urgency uniting. We raised the most funds everโ€”thatโ€™s urgency uniting. And weโ€™re determined to raise what it takes to purchase that mammogram systemโ€”because thatโ€™s the urgent need. Weโ€™re this far ahead because of the incredible support of our communityโ€”and weโ€™re deeply grateful for it.โ€

โ€œThis is an incredible testament to what happens when a community comes together for a shared purpose. Every contributionโ€”big or smallโ€”moves us closer to our goal of ensuring that every woman continues to have access to timely breast cancer screening and care. We are so grateful to everyone who continues to walk, dance, and give for this cause.โ€
