Pink in the City is a nonprofit organization dedicated to build volunteer active communities, raise funds for breast cancer, model the way - you can too!

Pink in the City is a nonprofit grassroots charity organization founded to support and promote philanthropy and build volunteer active communities. Dedicated to raise awareness for breast cancer and funds for the acquisition of specialized medical equipment through various activities throughout the year. Our main event is an annual Charity Ball to support the purchase of needed medical equipment determined by the breast clinic of the Royal Victoria Hospital. Founded by the Vourtzoumis Family, the Pink in the City team is a group of volunteer members passionate about eliminating breast cancer and increasing survivorship. Since 2006, volunteers have donated their time to fundraising, creating breast cancer awareness and promoting the "Model the way" campaign in the community. Pink in the City plays an active role in increasing volunteer participation and leadership within local schools and canadian communities. Pink in the city acts as ambassadors to building volunteer - active communities and empower students by sending a clear message that they can make a difference. The quest for this charity started in 2006 with the youngest member at the age of 11. A family tradition to raise funds annually became so rewarding that the fundraising journey evolved and in 2011 we launched the Pink in the City non-profit Charity foundation. Everyone has been touched by this devastating disease and other types of cancer. With this in mind, we strive every year to increase our donations through a wide range of sponsors and sponsorships. With the help and contributions of our community, we have raised in excess of 140,000.00$ since 2006. Thank You for believing in us and our mission. We are counting on your collaboration to partner with us on this worthwhile cause for years to come and together see it grow. With your help, we can succeed in increasing survivorship.

Some moments become memories. Some memories become part of our story. And some moments remind us why we started. 💗

As we look back at 2019, we are reminded of the beautiful people, unforgettable moments, generous hearts, and incredible community that have shaped the Pink in the City journey.

Every smile and every helping hand, every act of kindness, and every dollar raised has helped us continue our mission of ensuring that no woman faces a breast cancer diagnosis alone.

Giving Tuesday is a reminder that when people come together with love and purpose, we can make a lasting difference.

These are the moments that inspire us. These are the people who make it possible. And this is why we continue to give back. 💕

As we celebrate 20 years of giving, we are forever grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey.

20 years of memories. A lifetime of impact. And so much more hope to share.

Thank you for being part of our Pink in the City family and journey🌸

This Thanksgiving, Pink in the City is reminded that the greatest gift in life is the love we share, the lives we touch, and the difference we make all together.

We are deeply grateful for every volunteer who gives their time, every donor who believes in our mission, every sponsor who stands beside us, and every supporter who helps us bring hope to women and families affected by breast cancer.

For 20 years, our Pink in the City family has shown us that when compassion brings people together, incredible things happen. Behind every donation, every act of kindness, and every helping hand is a heart that cares.

Today, we give thanks for our community, for the strength of the women we support, for the families who stand beside them, and for the hope we continue to create together.

From our hearts to yours, thank you for being part of our journey 💗 no woman should ever face a diagnosis alone.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with love, peace, good health, and precious moments with the people who matter most.

With gratitude and love,
Pink in the City Canada 🌸

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pink in the City pauses to listen, reflect and honour the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, their histories, cultures, strength and resilience. 🧡

We remember the children who never returned home, we honour Survivors and their families, and recognize the lasting impact of the residential school system.

May we continue to learn, listen, educate and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation-not only today, but every day.

Together, through compassion, respect and understanding, we can help build a future rooted in healing, inclusion and equity. 🧡

In June 2023, Angelina was just five years old when she and her mom decided to turn her very first haircut into something much bigger than themselves.

Inspired by another little girl who had donated her hair, Angelina wanted to help. Together with her mom, they launched Angelina’s Locks of Love, raising awareness and funds in support of breast cancer care at the MUHC FondationCUSM | MUHCFoundation

What started with one little girl and one big heart grew into a community movement. Local businesses, families and the media Global Montreal all came together to support her mission. Their original $4,000 goal grew to $10,000 - proving that when we give children the opportunity to make a difference, they can inspire an entire community.

And now, Angelina and her mom are inspiring other moms, children and schools to take that same spirit of giving one step further.

✂️Raise Craze is a wonderful way for schools to get involved - bringing students, their families, and teachers together to raise awareness, practice kindness, give back and support a cause that touches so many lives.

As we enter Breast Cancer Awareness Month, there is no better time to remind our young ones that they are never too young to make a difference.

Angelina’s story began with a five-year-old girl giving back with this kind gesture.

Imagine how many more stories can begin when we give our children the chance to do the same.

Join Raise Craze through your school. Get involved. Raise awareness. Spread kindness. And help our young generation become part of the change we all so much want to see.

Because sometimes, the biggest hearts come in the smallest hands.

Une incroyable aventure. 💗

This year, once again - Concordia University’s sports teams are going All In Pink for a cause that touches us all: supporting breast cancer survivors.

Through the Pink in the City Sport Craze Challenge, the teams are raising funds for the MUHC Breast Cancer Wellness Program, in collaboration with Pink in the City and the MUHC Foundation.

Breast cancer impacts countless women, families, and communities. The MUHC Breast Cancer Wellness Program provides essential support, helping patients not only survive but thrive. Together, through sport, teamwork, and determination, we can make a lasting difference.

Every game played, and every dollar raised—whether through bake sales, awareness activities, or donations, fuels the mission to support survivors and advance care through the MUHC Breast Cancer Wellness Program. Cheer on your team. Donate. Spread the word. Whether you’re an athlete, student, alum, or supporter, you can help keep the momentum going and stand proudly with breast cancer survivors. Together, let’s turn the power of sport into the power of hope.

Stingers Rugby is proud to support local initiatives like Pink in the City, especially organizations that are volunteer-driven and dedicated to making a difference.

As female athletes in a male-dominated sport, we care deeply about protecting and uplifting women. Because breast cancer disproportionately affects women, raising awareness for this cause strongly reflects our team’s values.

This cause is also deeply personal. One of our teammates lost her sister during her second battle with breast cancer while she was pregnant.

She chose to refrain from chemotherapy to protect her baby. We believe that with more research on breast cancer during pregnancy, her life may have been prolonged.

As a team, every one of us knows someone who has been directly or indirectly affected by this disease. We want to help shine a light on the cause and support the organizations continuing the fight through awareness, research, and care.

Stingers Rugby est fière de soutenir des initiatives locales comme Pink in the City, particulièrement des organismes qui reposent sur l’engagement de bénévoles et qui sont déterminés à faire une réelle différence.

En tant qu’athlètes féminines dans un sport encore largement dominé par les hommes, nous avons à cœur de protéger, de soutenir et de valoriser les femmes. Puisque le cancer du sein touche les femmes de façon disproportionnée, la sensibilisation à cette cause reflète profondément les valeurs de notre équipe.

Cette cause est également très personnelle pour nous. L’une de nos coéquipières a perdu sa sœur lors de son deuxième combat contre le cancer du sein, alors qu’elle était enceinte.

Elle avait choisi de ne pas recevoir de chimiothérapie afin de protéger son bébé. Nous croyons qu’avec davantage de recherche sur le cancer du sein pendant la grossesse, sa vie aurait peut-être pu être prolongée.

En tant qu’équipe, nous connaissons toutes quelqu’un qui a été touché directement ou indirectement par cette maladie.
