Grill Out for a Cause a Huge Success!

A huge thank you goes out to Bobbie Dougherty and the staff at Cater Me Cafe for making the Grill Out for a Cause such a huge success. Bobbie raised over $1700 for Pink Ribbon Connection that day. We are so grateful to all of the friends and customers who donated to this cause.


With the help of many people, Bobbie has raised nearly $10,000 - halfway to our goal of $20,000! You can donate by using the code below.

New Partnership with Global Gifts

Pink Ribbon Connection and Global Gifts are excited to announce a community partnership that will launch August 1 and run throughout the month of August! You will have an opportunity all month long to purchase items from Global Gifts that were specifically curated by Pink Ribbon Connection board members to give to the women they serve. Come see us at the Pink Ribbon Connection table on First Friday, August 2nd from 6-8pm at Global Gifts - 446 Mass Ave. to learn more about this new partnership and purchase some of these special items to brighten the day for a woman fighting breast cancer. 

Any curated item purchased will be delivered by Global Gifts to Pink Ribbon Connection to benefit the brave women they are supporting. Items include soft blankets, journals, bath salts, candles, incense and more that will cheer, inspire and support breast cancer patients.

We hope you will stop by a Global Gifts location during August to see the special display and earn double Loyalty Points when you purchase an item for Pink Ribbon Connection. Global Gifts has two Indianapolis locations: 446 Massachusetts Avenue (downtown) and 8519 Westfield Boulevard (Nora). You can also purchase these curated items online at www.globalgiftsft.com with no shipping charge!

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.
