About Us

Breast Cancer is a disease that is very close to all our hearts. Puttin On The Pink is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that raises money annually at our event that is held on the second Friday in October. We strive to increase awareness about breast cancer and raise funds for patients at The Hollis Cancer Center. Your support can help us make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Puttin On The Pink is committed to supporting The Hollis Cancer Center Breast Cancer Patients in Lakeland, Florida. 95% of our proceeds from our annual event go towards treatment and support services for patients and their families. Join us in the fight against breast cancer by attending our event or making a donation today.
