Surgical Breast Reconstruction

November 12, 2024

1139 Shelby Street

5:30-7:00pm


Pink Ribbon Connection will host a gathering of survivors to have a frank conversation about breast reconstruction. We will host this meeting on Tuesday, November 12 at the Pink Ribbon Connection office.

Dr. Jason Cacioppo, from Community Physician Network, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, will join us to answer questions and share accurate and current information regarding breast reconstruction.

This will be a circle of survivors sharing their experiences to support and nurture other survivors in their journey. Therefore it is important that both groups of survivors are represented at this gathering:

  • Women who have already had their reconstruction
  • Women who are still exploring options regarding reconstruction.


Please RSVP by Thursday, November 7

info@pinkribbonconnection.org ~ 317-255-7465


Free dinner will be served. Free parking is available at the Goodwill just south of our office.

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.
