Get Pinked

Get Pinked! was born in 2009 as a grass-roots effort to raise monies for breast cancer patients. The Get Pinked! Campaign has been a huge success and, since its inception in October 2011, has provided free screening mammograms to 279 local persons who are un-insured or under-insured. The group remains true to its original intent and has kept 100% of all of the “Pink Partner” net proceeds right here to help those who live or work in Dare County. 

Partners of the Get Pinked! campaign pledge to raise $1,000 or more between September to the end of October. Any organization, group or business may become a “Pink Partner.” Groups raise monies in numerous ways - from bake sales to yard sales; one group even sold fall chrysanthemums this year. Businesses may donate a portion of their sales to the cause and one boutique puts on a five-star fashion show every spring. The “Pink Possibilities” are endless!
