Our 21st annual Pink! gala was an ABSOLUTE SMASH, raising a mind-blowing $1.3 MILLION for the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center! 💖 This record-breaking success brings our total over 21 years to over $9.4 MILLION!

A HUGE thank you to the 1,150 incredible guests who filled the room and opened their hearts! Every single dollar STAYS LOCAL, directly boosting vital health services and programs for our family, friends, and neighbors right here in Chattanooga.

What does this mean for our community? 👇

Cutting-edge Care: We're getting two brand-new stand-up stereotactic biopsy machines for both Chattanooga and Georgia centers – making MaryEllen Locher Breast Center the FIRST AND ONLY breast center in the region with this technology! More comfort, better access!

Lifesaving Support: Ongoing funding for dedicated nurse navigators, mobile mammography coaches, and college scholarships for children of breast cancer patients.

This is what happens when we come together for a cause so close to our hearts! THANK YOU, CHATTANOOGA, for your unbelievable generosity and passion! 🙏
