Happy Holidays from all of us at Pink Ribbon Connection

Seeking Calendar Girls

Have you always wanted to be a calendar girl? Now is the time! We are looking for 3 spring and 3 summer calendar models to be in the 2026 Pink Ribbon Connection Breast Cancer Survivor Calendar. The calendar will be printed next September, with on-site sales happening at the Stars of Pink Breast Cancer Survivor Fashion Show on October 11th, 2025.

Sharing Hope This Holiday Season

A big shout out to Indy Christmas Light Pros for sharing their expertise to bring cheer to families that have been through the struggle of breast cancer. Matt Green, the owner, wanted to do something special to make the holidays bright for these families, so he volunteered to have his company install pink lights on their homes. We thank him for his care and compassion!

So Many Reasons to be Grateful!

We are so grateful to Bobbie Dougherty of Cater Me Cafe for her hard work and determination this year. With the help of so many people, Bobbie has raised over $18,000 for Pink Ribbon Connection!

We appreciate Bobbie for starting this campaign, and want to thank all the people who have donated to it. We are amazed by your generosity! Your donations will go a long way in helping women going through their treatment.

Bobbie is determined to reach her goal of $20,000 by the end of the year. It's not too late to donate!

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.
