Organizers host 8th annual Pink Power Party to raise funds for breast cancer patients, survivors

A nonprofit in York, Pink Power, is raising funds for cancer patients and survivors through their 8th annual Pink Power Party.

YORK, Pa. — October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, providing support for those battling the disease while bringing attention to the importance of yearly screenings.

A nonprofit, Pink Power, is hosting their biggest fundraiser of the year Thursday to both uplift cancer survivors and raise funds for patients.

The Pink Power Party - Shine Bright like a Diamond event, will open its doors at Wyndham Garden York at 5 p.m. and the festivities begin at 5:30 p.m.

Since the organization’s inception in 2017, Pink Power has raised at least $877,000 for their beneficiaries. On Thursday that number is expected to increase.

Proceeds from this year’s event will go toward four beneficiaries:

  • WellSpan York Cancer Center
  • UPMC Hillman Cancer Center
  • Penn State Cancer Institute
  • Vinnie Myers Pink Ink Project

Tickets to the event have sold out but they do have another event coming up.

They’re hosting a free "Party Under the Parasols" event on Monday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

All are welcome to join us on Monday, October 28 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm for a community Party under the Pink Power Parasols...
