💕 17th Annual Think Pink Luncheon 💕

I would like to thank The Daily Post-Athenian (DPA) in Athens for their continued support of the American Cancer Society and our efforts to fund lifesaving breast cancer research.

This year marks the 17th Annual Think Pink Luncheon, happening Friday, October 23! 🎀

The DPA always does a wonderful job with this special event—great food, a fabulous speaker, and a community coming together for a cause that touches so many lives.

🎟️ Tickets are available by contacting The Daily Post-Athenian.

And you certainly don’t have to be from Athens to join us! We invite friends from Athens and surrounding communities—and beyond—to come be part of this special day. Gather a few friends, make the trip, and enjoy a wonderful luncheon while supporting breast cancer research and the lifesaving work of the American Cancer Society. We would love to see you there! 💗

We would love some extra hands, setting up chairs, tables hanging signs and banners tomorrow for the Relay For Life in downtown Athens at Market Park 106 S Jackson Street. The event benefits, cancer, survivors, and their families. We would need help from about 10 AM until close to Noon. And then again around 8:45pm till about 9:30pm at night. Please message me if you can help. And if anyone is needing any volunteer hours, I’m happy to provide that. Thank you!!
