Our Impact

Supporting Central Pennsylvania

One in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. The impact of a breast cancer diagnosis ripples through their lives, their families, and their communities. To beat this disease — the second leading cause of cancer death in women — they need a winning team. Researchers committed to finding a cure, medical professionals providing the best in care and treatment, and supporters who will rally to their needs and cheer them on to victory.

The Pennsylvania Pink Zone works to mobilize these resources and improve lives in our community. Through our partnerships and fundraising, we work to make sure that no one in Central Pennsylvania faces breast cancer alone.
