Indiana University Health North, Saxony and Tipton hospitals will turn their campuses pink in October, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The public is invited to join the cause throughout October by donating $5 or more in memory of someone who lost their fight against breast cancer, to honor a friend whose life was touched by breast cancer, or to express gratitude toward a family member, friend or caregiver who helped you through your breast cancer journey. All donations are tax deductible and go toward helping IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton patients through their fight against breast cancer.
“This is one of our favorite times of year when we turn our hospitals pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Tracy Miller, Philanthropy Director, IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton Hospitals. “We all know someone who has been touched by breast cancer, and this is an opportunity for us to raise community awareness about not only remembering to get those yearly mammograms that could save your life but also giving back so we can continue to provide the best care for our breast cancer patients.”
With your $5 donation, you’ll be able to put the name of the person you’d like to honor on a pink ribbon sheet that will be displayed in the IU Health North Hospital Atrium throughout October.
Visitors to all three hospitals may notice such things as pink ribbons adorning outdoor pillars, pink water running through outdoor fountains, pink mums decorating the landscapes, and pink lights shining in the trees.
