For those who would like to go above and beyond to donate to the Pink Ribbon Girls, sponsoring a song can be done by paying a desired amount of money for someone to select and perform the song. Payment then must be made in-person or electronically within 24 hours of the performance. Additional donations can be made via the Venmo handle @crush4acause.
🎀Pinktober
This year’s Kettering Medical Center Foundation Ribbon of Hope luncheon was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but there are still ways to support the cause.
Donate online to support the Kettering Health Network’s Women’s Wellness Fund. The fund makes it possible for medically under-served women in the community to receive breast imaging and other related women’s cancer care at no cost to them.
Tune in to FOX45 and ABC22 to see how your donations are making a difference during Kettering Medical Center’s Second Annual Pinktober Telethon on Oct. 14.
