Last night, we celebrated the incredible success of Paint the Town Pink 2025! 🎀

Together, we raised just under $90,000 for the Patient Assistance Fund at the Cancer Center at RWJUH — and donors got an exclusive tour of the facility to see firsthand where every dollar goes. Every cent supports Mercer County patients with medications, transportation, wigs, wellness services, and holistic care programs.

Huge thank you to our sponsors, elected officials, RWJ leadership, and our Young Professionals for making 2025 such a success.

We’ve secured our first sponsor for 2026: Caesars Bagels, returning with a $15,000 commitment. Sezar Ates, thank you for your continued support of this community! 🙌

We can't thank Iccara enough for their incredibly generous donation of more than $10,000 to support this year’s Paint the Town Pink! Throughout the month of October, Iccara hosted give-back days and also provided their patrons with the opportunity to support Paint the Town Pink.

“What matters most is knowing that these funds will stay right here, helping local breast cancer patients with rides to treatment, groceries, and the everyday essentials no one should ever have to go without. It’s care, compassion, and community—right where it belongs,” noted the Balsamo family.

💗 A Love Letter to Our Community 💗

For almost 40 years, this community has been more than where we live and work—it has been our home, our support system, and truly our family. Every milestone we’ve celebrated, every challenge we’ve faced, you have been right there with us. And this October, we felt called to give back in a way that reflects just how deeply we care.

We are humbled and proud to share that we are donating $10,236 to Paint the Town Pink and RWJ Hamilton—a contribution made possible because of the continued support this community has shown us over the decades.

What matters most is knowing that these funds will stay right here, helping local breast cancer patients with rides to treatment, groceries, and the everyday essentials no one should ever have to go without. It’s care, compassion, and community—right where it belongs.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for allowing the Balsamo family to play a small role in caring for the community that has cared for us for generations. We are endlessly grateful for you. 💗
