To celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Links for Life wants to literally light the town pink. During the week of October 20-28, Links for Life wants local homes and businesses to glow with pink lighting and ribbons. This inaugural event will raise money for the fight against breast cancer. Volunteers will put up and take down the pink "gel" or plastic that will make your home or businesses illuminate. Packages range from $100 to a customized plan.
In addition to this neon event, Links for Life offers free mammograms, ultrasounds, needle biopsies, wigs, support groups, and seminars.
