Pine2Pink Has Largest Fundraising Season For Bucks County Cancer Patients Yet

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Pine2Pink Foundation, an experience-based and community-driven non-profit supporting local breast cancer patients, had its largest fundraising season this year since its inception in 2018.

The organization raised $117,000 to benefit breast cancer patients across Bucks County. Local businesses and community members from participating towns including Doylestown, Newtown, Carversville, Peddler's Village, Perkasie, New Hope, and Thompsonville made the season such a success.

The list of beneficiaries has steadily grown through the years, the organization said in a news release. In 2021, recipients included Grandview Hospital, Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham, Doylestown Health, Kin Wellness and Support Center, and Gilda’s Club — in honor of local resident and cancer fighter Kim Hagerich.

Allied Mortgage Group led this year's nearly 100 business partners and 49 sponsors.

“When Pine2Pink was first conceived, we identified the tipping-point to be when towns pursued us and brought Pine2Pink to their community tohelp their local breast cancer patients," said Keith Fenimore, the non-profit's founder and executive director. "This milestone was realized in 2021 when Newtown broughtPine2Pink to historic State St. and raised nearly $10,000 for the non-profit. We are elated to be embraced by six towns across Bucks County. As our footprint expands, so too does our ability to help more people, which is our core focus and why we exist.”

The organization has begun conversations to expand into Yardley and Quakertown, and plans to add new technology to its existing Pine2Pink scavenger hunt app in order for users to find local Pine2Pink special deals more easily.

“We live in a special place,” board member Kristina Fenimore said. "The outpouring of support Pine2Pink receives is truly inspirational. It’s that fervent community involvement that drives our success, year after year and has allowed us to help over 1000 local breast cancer patients."

To date Pine2Pink has started and funded nine unique programs ranging from cold-capping to out-of-pocket expense relief, integrative services through Unite For Her, patient food delivery, comfort bags for newly diagnosed patients, treatment transportation and the purchase of new state-of-the-art infusion chairs.
