Paint the Town Pink 2023

Our entire community comes together in a very colourful way in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From hundreds of pink pumpkins to several local businesses running promotions to benefit local cancer support, there are lots of ways to help us paint the town pink over the month ahead.

Help us PAINT THE TOWN PINK in October to support those impacted by cancer in our community!

Painted Pumpkins of Hope

UPDATE: Online Pumpkin Sales have closed.

Our Painted Pumpkins of Hope are a visible symbol of support throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Introduced a decade ago by 11-year-old Mackena to support her mom roughly a decade ago, they are now a visible sign of hope each October.
