Pink Lights the Way partners with women during breast cancer treatment, providing care packages, the mentorship of a breast cancer survivor, meals, and activity boxes for their children. We are based in Howland and help women all over Northeast Ohio. In 2023 the inaugural Cupcake Walk raised over $40,000 to provide women with customized care packages that include items such as mastectomy support pillows, head scarves, and other hand-selected products to support their specific treatments. The money we raise will also allow us to continue to grow our support of patients and their families during treatment.
Packet Pick-Up will be held at Second Sole (755 Boardman Canfield Rd, Boardman, OH 44512) on Saturday, October 3rd from 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM.
