About Paint Piatt Pink
Purpose
Paint Piatt Pink is an ongoing community-driven campaign designed to raise breast cancer awareness, provide support, and fundraise for patients in Piatt County. The campaign ensures that local women and families have access to comfort, care, and vital resources during their journey with breast cancer.
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.
How Funds Make a Difference
- Bella Blankets for Mammograms – provide a protective barrier for every patient, reducing skin tears, improving comfort, and ensuring better imaging accuracy.
- Hope Totes – filled with care items to bring encouragement and comfort to patients.
- Advanced Imaging Equipment – proceeds from the 2025 and 2026 fundraising campaigns will support the purchase of a Breast Coil for Kirby Medical Center’s MRI suite, enabling clearer, more accurate breast scans for early detection and diagnosis.
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.
