A 5K run/walk to directly assist patients with financial needs while undergoing cancer treatments.
The inaugural Baytown Pink Heals Event was held on October, 8, 2010 followed by an additional three years. Through corporate sponsors, vendor sales, fundraising, t-shirt sales, raffles, and miscellaneous donations, the events have raised almost $200,000. All funds are maintained locally through a scholarship fund at Houston Methodist San Jacinto Cancer Center and are available to assist qualifying patients in our community with expenses during their cancer treatment. The fifth annual Pink Heals Event in Baytown is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2014 at the San Jacinto Mall.
The National Pink Heals Tour was started in 2007 to raise funds for people facing cancer
Mission Statement:
We drive pink fire trucks and pink police
cars across America bringing the “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” and Pink Heals
Movement to a city near you! We simply provide a program for your community
leaders to adopt, helping them fund raise for people rather than causes. We
focus our labor of love on the women of this country and wage war on anything
that may harm her starting with cancer!
Each year, hundreds of thousands of
people participate in the fund-raising events of the Pink Heals Tour. These
events are a fun way for Americans across the country to make a difference in
their local community by increasing awareness of cancer, while at the same time
raising thousands of dollars to support those in the fight against this
disease.
Unlike
other cancer fundraising events, all proceeds
of the Baytown Pink Heals Event are kept locally and used to directly assist
patients with financial needs while undergoing cancer treatment. For more
