This is how the fundraiser works: On May 18th from 4 pm-8 pm, for purchases to count towards your fundraiser, verbally tell the cashier of your participation in helping Pink Chair RVA or mention the fundraiser when ordering online.
Bring with you those you value-- family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers; enjoy an evening out with your party and a delicious dinner. Enjoy the event and support the purposes of the fundraiser by purchasing your meals.
There are three purposes for the fundraiser. The first is to raise money for a good cause. Proceeds from this triple-store fundraiser will provide funds for the” gift bags” for Pink Chair recipients who have been gifted remote-controlled electronic recliners as breast cancer patients to use during post-operative recovery. As well as the chair, which is considered a healing tool, the recipient receives a beautiful quilt and a gift bag of pertinent items for comfort and medical resources.
The second is to provide information, raise awareness, and provide support in the fight against breast cancer.
The third is to celebrate the good news of survival rates due to early screenings and research.
On May 18th at all three stores, the Pink Chair will have displays of the gift bags and have on-hand literature related to our nonprofit organization.
That night, we want to emphasize the value of early screenings for cancer to save many as well as to request your support of the “healing” gift bags.
According to the American Cancer Society’s most recent published report (2022): Breast Women, ages 45-54 Mammography Women should have the opportunity to begin annual screening between the ages of 40 and 44. Women should undergo regular screening mammography starting at age 45. Women age 45 to 54 should be screened annually. Women, ages 55+ Mammography Transition to biennial screening, or can continue annual screening. Continue screening as long as overall health is good and life expectancy is 10+ years. Or, by physician recommendations.
According to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation: In 2023, an estimated 297,790 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. making it the most common cancer in American women. Every two minutes a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disease. In 2023, an estimated 2,800 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S.

One thing is for sure. Whether we have been diagnosed, or know someone who has experienced breast cancer, everyone is part of this courageous and meaningful fight for life.
On May 18th, Pink Chair RVA, The Hawthorne, and Bell Greek look forward to your support.
