Making Strides Against Breast Cancer would like to thank the over one hundred fifty Hamden businesses, schools, organizations and individuals that supported “Paint Hamden Pink” during the month of October. This marked our third year building a town wide awareness of the cancer that impacts the lives of men and women, and we are thankful for the funds raised that will support awareness efforts, advocacy efforts and seven breast cancer research grants at Yale University. We would also like to thank Mayor Leng for declaring October, 2019 Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Hamden.
Due to the generosity of our Hamden community, $13,054 was raised and we are hopeful that additional donations will bring that total higher! Hamden businesses and organizations supported our efforts through in store events, cash donations and in kind donations. We hope that additional Hamden businesses will join us in our town wide effort next October. If you would like to join our committee or find out how your business can support us next year, please contact Nancy Juliano at njshepglen@aol.com.
Thank you for all you do to support Paint Hamden Pink.
