Great Support for Pretty in Pink

Throughout October local salons spas restaurants and even the Eagle River firefighters rallied to raise awareness for breast cancer and Shaw Regional Cancer Center a service of Vail Valley Medical Center.

Not only did these groups help flood the valley with pink to raise awareness but over $13000 was donated to help patients receive diagnostic testing who couldn't afford it otherwise.

Pretty In Pink was another strong example of our community's compassion and caring — traits that our cancer center and medical center strive to deliver each day.

I'd like to extend my deepest appreciation to everyone involved — the local businesses that saw the value in joining with us the stylists and servers who volunteered their time and the donors who gave in support of breast cancer.
