Story

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center in Covington invites businesses, restaurants, families and YOU to GEAUX PINK during October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

One in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and with your support, they can receive the highest level of care and support right here at home. Even during these unprecedented times, early detection is key, and catching cancer early is still the best way to ensure a positive outcome. Funds raised through Geaux Pink support mobile breast cancer screenings across the community at no cost. At a time when job loss and uninsured numbers are at an all-time high, your help is needed more than ever!

Being a part of GEAUX PINK is fun and easy. Team up with co-workers, students, family or friends and make a plan to give back. No matter how big or small, long or short, however you give back, you can make a difference right here in our community!
