The Pink Eraser Project
The goal of the Pink Eraser Project is a breast cancer vaccine for everyone, now!
The Pink Eraser Project is a collaboration of doctors from six of the nation's top cancer centers as well as breast cancer survivors with a goal to create a vaccine that prevents or slows the progression of the disease.
| |
|
The Pink Eraser Project will connect researchers at major centers across the U.S., including experts from Memorial Sloan-Kettering, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Cleveland Clinic, UW Medicine’s Cancer Vaccine Institute and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Their goal is to build a pool of breast cancer survivors to help spread the word about joining trials, work with other institutions doing breast cancer vaccine research, and to partner with the hundreds of amazing support organizations that have been lifting up breast cancer patients and supporting research for years.
Thursday April 25th, 2024 6:00-7:30
Join us for a webinar, where you will hear from Co-Founders Michele Young and Kristen Dahlgren (formerly of NBC), as well as the doctors currently working on the vaccine. Michele and Kristen will lead the discussion, tell the story of Pink Eraser, why it is needed, the hope of vaccines and what they have learned since they began and their hopes for the future. Then they will open it up for questions. Check our website and Facebook page soon for more information.

Donate Your Car
Pink Ribbon Connection now accepts your donated vehicle! Just call our office at 317-255-7465 and let us know you want to donate your car to Pink Ribbon Connection. We will then call our towing partner, Hanna's Wrecker Service, and a representative will call you and make an appointment to pick up your car. They will come, with identification, at your convenience, to tow the car to their lot. They hold regular car auctions and will auction off the car, with the proceeds donated to Pink Ribbon Connection.
You will receive a tax receipt for the amount your car sells for at the auction. The receipt will be mailed to you by Pink Ribbon Connection. Every cent of the money stays right here in Central Indiana to assist breast cancer patients and their families with support, resources and information.
