Cabinet Peaks Medical Center recently announced this year’s Paint It Pink campaign raised just shy of $30,000.
This impressive achievement reflects the generosity, enthusiasm and dedication of our local businesses, partners and community members. All funds raised stay in our community to support essential breast health screenings and education.
George Mercer, Vice President of Glacier Bank, expressed his appreciation for the strong turnout.
“The support we saw this year was truly inspiring," Mercer said. "We are grateful for everyone who registered, donated, sponsored, or simply came out to be part of the event. Paint It Pink continues to be an important cause for our community, and Glacier Bank is proud to help support it.”
Registrations for the annual Fun Run started off slow, but the community quickly rallied. More than 120 runners took part, and with the combined efforts of CPMC and Glacier Bank, the event brought in $9,500 through registrations and donations. This was a very special year of the run starting at CPMC and ending there with snacks, photo booths, music, bubbles and more.
CPMC also hosted its always popular Bingo Night, a long-standing community favorite. This year included a new twist with Disco Bingo, which brought even more excitement and energy to the event. The enthusiasm and laughter shared throughout the night showed once again how much this community rallies around important causes while still having fun together.
Paula Collins, Paint It Pink Coordinator, shared her sincere gratitude for the participation and spirit shown throughout the campaign.
“I am continually amazed by the heart of this community," Collins said. "From local businesses hosting fundraisers to families coming out for the Fun Run and Bingo events, every effort made a meaningful difference. Your support helps ensure that vital breast health services remain available close to home.”
CPMC officials extended a heartfelt thank you to every participant, donor, sponsor, volunteer and partner who made this year’s Paint It Pink events successful. Your involvement strengthens access to care and supports a healthier future for our community.
