7th Annual Pink Tie Party
October 13, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Pink Tie Party presented by Consolidated Telecommunications Company (CTC) offers a special occasion to socialize with the members of your community while supporting an important cause. All proceeds benefit breast cancer patients through the St. Joseph’s Foundation at the Essentia Health Cancer Center and The Pink Ribbon Cupboard. Last year the Pink Tie Party raised over $12,000 and we hope to surpass that amount at this year’s event.
The funds are used to support patients who are undergoing active treatment for breast cancer through continued improvements in care and non-medical assistance. The Pink Ribbon Cupboard serves breast cancer patients living in our communities who are currently in treatment regardless of their healthcare provider. Below are some examples of how funds have been distributed to support patients:
- Gas cards
- Wigs for breast cancer patients
- Rent payment to lessen the stress on a family
- Mortgage payment to prevent home foreclosure
- Payment of auto insurance to keep this transportation resource available to the family
- Payment of utilities to keep the lights on
- Grocery gift cards for help with family grocery expenses
“It’s one way that as a community, we can collaborate to extend our outreach to improve the life of cancer survivors and their families in the Brainerd Lakes Area,” said Marian Foehrenbacher, Cancer Center manager at Essentia Health-St. Joseph’s Medical Center. “Having resources for helping to treat the entire patient, not just physically, spiritually, and emotionally through compassionate care by Essentia Health staff, but practically by helping to meet the needs patients have beyond the disease.”
