Turn the Town Pink with Ribbons for Research

For one month every year, we proudly show our support in the fight against breast cancer with beautiful pink ribbon pathways throughout our hometown, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Neighborhoods, businesses and individuals join together to support breast cancer research and their loved ones affected by this disease. With as little as a $5 donation, they help turn the town pink.

This campaign is generously underwritten by Lutheran Health Network.
