AS NON-PROFIT PINE2PINK EXCEEDS FUNDRAISING GOALS THANKS TO STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT ACROSS BUCKS COUNTY
Doylestown, Pennsylvania, January 17, 2023 – The Pine2Pink Foundation 501(c)(3), an experience- based, community-driven non-profit dedicated to LOCAL breast cancer patients has concluded its largest fundraising season to date. Through the support of local residents and businesses from participating towns including; Newtown, Carversville, Doylestown, Peddler’s Village, Perkasie, New Hope, Shops at Valley Square and Thompsonville (Thompson car dealerships) Pine2Pink is donating $125,000 to benefit local breast cancer patients across Bucks County.
The Non-profit’s presenting sponsors The Thompson Organization, along with 57 sponsors and 112 partners helped elevate Pine2Pink’s awareness and reach, exceeding fundraising goals for the October 2022 season. Within five years this family run 501(c)(3) non-profit has helped over 1000 local breast cancer patients. Pine2Pink has helped create and fund unique programs for our local patients in need ranging from cold- capping to out-of-pocket expense relief, integrative services through Kin Wellness and Support Center and Unite For Her, patient home food delivery, comfort bags for newly diagnosed patients, treatment transportation and the purchase of new state-of-the-art infusion chairs. To date, Pine2Pink has raised and donated over $400,000 to Bucks County breast cancer patients in treatment and recovery! #LocalForLocal
Keith Fenimore, Founder and Executive Director of Pine2Pink shares, “I am so pleased to watch our entire community of residents and businesses across Bucks County, embrace our non-profit the way they have. Our approach from day one was to be innovative and collaborative with the community in ways that had not been seen through traditional fundraising activities. We are foundationally grounded by our mission to keep all the funds we donate local and to put those funds to good use quickly in an effort to help as many people as possible. We take great pride in working with our local community and we’re thrilled by the participation and results 2022 has garnered.”
Pat McGinley, Thompson Organization General Manager shares, “It has been a great pleasure to carry on the traditions implemented by Mr. Thompson and use our resources and talents as an organization to support those within our dealerships and in the community through Pine2Pink. As the 2022 presenting sponsor, we greatly admire all that this non-profit has achieved on behalf of our local breast cancer patients.”Dr. Shelly Hayes, Director of Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham states, “The impact of Pine2Pink’s donation is huge. The money will help support the launch and ongoing operational costs of the Fox Chase
Buckingham infusion room which is projected to open in late summer 2023. Being able to offer systemic therapy and other infusions at our Buckingham satellite will give our breast cancer patients access to Fox Chase’s cutting-edge treatments and will allow them to get all their cancer treatment at one location, providing more streamlined and better coordinated care. We cannot thank Pine2pink enough for their generosity and support!”
