Spreading awareness one pumpkin at a time!

Our Junior Leaders painted pumpkins and placed them throughout the community to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Through creativity, service, and awareness, our members are helping make a difference and show support for those affected by breast cancer. 🩷

Sometimes the smallest acts can make the biggest impact. 💕🎀

Why join the Pennington Generation Study?

For one Louisiana mom of two, it's an opportunity for her family to be part of research that could help children and families in the future. Now in their second year, her family has enjoyed being part of the study and her kids especially enjoy seeing how they've changed from one visit to the next.
