About Pink October
We appreciate the continued support and dedication that the Yuba-Sutter community has given to Pink October. It is because of you that we’re able to make a difference in the lives of local women through the Geweke’s Caring for Women Foundation. Through the fundraising of Pink October, we are able to assist local women who are being treated with a female form of cancer with $3,000 in financial assistance towards any bills that they are having trouble paying. The Foundation typically pays bills such as mortgage or rent, medical, utility or transportation bills.
The Geweke family and Yuba-Sutter survivors invite you to join us for our 2024 Pink October festivities! Celebrating 27 years in promoting early detection of women’s health and financially assisting women who are going through treatment of female forms of cancer, we are incredibly proud of how the Yuba-Sutter community has embraced Pink October and the Geweke’s Caring for Women Foundation. Thanks to our medical partners, thousands of women have utilized our low-cost mammogram and women’s health screening days. Since the Foundations inception in 2006, we have been fortunate to assist over 575 women financially through the Foundation with over $835,000. Additionally, the Foundation has granted nearly $700k to our non-profit medical partners towards new women’s health technology and shuttle transportation. Because of this, our community is equipped with some of the newest and in-demand Women’s imaging and breast health equipment. The purchase of this technology and transportation is a community advantage that all Yuba-Sutter women are able to benefit from. We are so thrilled that over $1.5 million dollars has gone back into the Yuba-Sutter Community to support local women!
As a sponsor or participant, we thank you for continuing your support towards one of our many events to help continue the above results. We look forward to seeing you this fall!
