October 1-31 - Brakes for Breasts

Our good friend Dawn Deputy is sponsoring Brake for Breasts at Deputy's Auto Repair. Brake jobs completed by Deputy's will "give forward" a portion of their cost to Ohio Pink Ribbon Fund. A great way to stay safe and help support the cause!

Held on a Wednesday morning, ladies can "drive through" the Athens Pool Parking Lot on East State street and pick up a bag full of information handouts along with a healthy breakfast. Stay tuned for the date!

We were able to raise $15,847.26 over the course of the year with our events and contributions from some special people and businesses. We spent $3,470.34 on our three major fundraisers for the year: Getting down for the Girls, our Pink Friday Raffle, and Pedal for Pink. These expenses included marketing, permits, insurance and printing costs along with some material costs. We also participated in the Athens County Jeep Invasion, Brake for Breakfast, and the Albany Fall Festival.

Our biggest expenses go to our survivors. This year we disbursed $13,212.61 for the benefit of survivors. We served 40 ladies in 2023 - an average of $330.32 to each survivor.
