The event promotes awareness about breast cancer, enabling Friends in Pink to raise funds to assist those dealing with breast cancer.

While breast cancer is the primary focus, Friends in Pink have funds available on a limited basis for other types of cancer.

Friends in Pink is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit group that was formed in 2009 and is committed to raising funds for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the Roxborough-Manayunk community.
