The 13th Annual Pink Pint Night was an outstanding success, raising more than $65,000 to support Levine Cancer Institute’s Project PINK. This year’s event marked another major milestone, with nearly $1 million raised over the years, providing access to life-saving breast cancer screenings for approximately 10,000 uninsured women in the greater Charlotte area.
ImagineSoftware and Charlotte Radiology: Partners in Saving Lives
ImagineSoftware, in partnership with Charlotte Radiology, proudly sponsored the event, furthering their commitment to improving access to critical healthcare services in the Charlotte community. For ImagineSoftware, headquartered in Charlotte, this event represents a direct way to support the local community and raise awareness for an issue that impacts so many women.
The funds raised from Pink Pint Night go directly to Project PINK, a program designed to offer free mammograms to low-income, uninsured women in underserved communities. 100% of the proceeds stay local, directly funding mammography exams for women who otherwise might not have access to these screenings.
A Night of Community and Compassion
Pink Pint Night at NoDa Brewing not only brings together people for a good cause but also raises awareness about the importance of breast cancer screenings. Attendees enjoyed a festive evening with live music, delicious food, and NoDa Brewing’s special edition pink beer, all while supporting a cause that affects countless families.
For ImagineSoftware, the event is about much more than fundraising. It’s about connecting with the Charlotte community, raising awareness, and ensuring that women receive the healthcare they need, regardless of their financial situation. This commitment to making a difference is what makes Pink Pint Night such a special event each year.
The Mission of Project PINK
Project PINK plays a vital role in providing breast cancer screenings to those most in need. Through its mobile mammography unit, the program reaches women where they live, eliminating barriers to care. Each year, Project PINK hosts over 35 mobile screening days, bringing high-quality, compassionate care to the communities where the need is greatest.
The program’s impact is far-reaching:
- More than 75 breast cancers have been detected since the program’s inception, averaging 1-2 diagnoses per month.
- Over 1,000 women are served each year, with free screenings ensuring early detection for those without access to healthcare.
The mobile breast center travels throughout the Charlotte area, offering a convenient and welcoming environment for women to receive their screenings. This initiative not only saves lives through early detection but also brings hope to women who may not have had access to these crucial services.
The Power of Early Detection
Breast cancer screenings, especially for underserved populations, are essential for early diagnosis and treatment. Project PINK’s mission is to ensure that every woman, regardless of her financial situation, has access to this life-saving care. Early detection through mammograms significantly improves outcomes, offering women the chance for timely treatment and better survival rates.
How You Can Make a Difference
While Pink Pint Night 2024 has concluded, the fight against breast cancer continues. Donations to The Project PINK Fund directly support mammograms for uninsured women, helping to extend the program’s reach. You can make a difference by donating, raising awareness, or volunteering to support future events and screenings.
Together, we can continue to support and expand access to essential breast cancer screenings for all women, regardless of their ability to pay. Every dollar raised helps save lives and ensures that women in underserved communities receive the care they deserve. Let’s work together to make breast cancer a thing of the past!
