Pink & Clink: Party with a Purpose
Pink & Clink: Party with a Purpose is a fundraising event supporting Paint Piatt Pink and advancing women’s health initiatives in our communities. Launched in 2025, this event brings together supporters and local businesses, to raise awareness and essential funding for patient care improvements and new technology.
Impact of Last Year’s Event
Thanks to the generosity of our attendees and sponsors, last year’s Pink & Clink event raised more than $30,000. These funds directly supported the purchase of a breast coil for Kirby Medical Center’s new MRI machine, diagnostic equipment that enhances imaging quality and supports early detection of breast conditions.
2026 Fundraising Focus
This year, Pink & Clink will raise funds to support the purchase of new patient capes for mammography and MRI services as well as a cape warmer. Additionally, funds will provide aesthetic upgrades to Kirby’s mammography suite ensuring that every mammography patient receives a comfortable experience during their procedure.

History & Community Impact
Since its beginning, Paint Piatt Pink has united the community in support of breast cancer patients. Through events and fundraisers, the campaign has funded programs and items that directly improve patient care and comfort. These include Hope Totes, which provide meaningful support items for women undergoing treatment, and the annual Pink & Clink event, which brings women together to raise both awareness and funds for women’s health.
Commitment to Patients
Every dollar raised stays local, ensuring Piatt County residents receive high-quality, compassionate care close to home. Paint Piatt Pink has become a lasting symbol of hope and community solidarity in the fight against breast cancer.
