A special thank-you to Representative Felicia Robinson for joining us and sharing her insight, knowledge, and perspective on the legislative process and issues impacting communities across Florida.

We are also incredibly grateful to our community partners, sponsors, volunteers, chapter leadership, sorors, and every community member who spent this day with us. Your support helped turn an idea into a meaningful community experience.

The ten-year celebration continued beyond Pink in the City! 🎀 On Pink Sunday, September 13, 2026, we invited churches and local congregations throughout our community to WEAR PINK to their own church or the church of their choice. 💗

Wearing pink is more than a color—it is a powerful symbol of hope, strength, love, and support for those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Together, we stand with breast cancer survivors, those currently fighting, and the families who walk beside them, while supporting Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. 💗
