The Charlotte Knights played the Bulls to celebrate an incredible team of 9 members who are breast cancer fighters and survivors! All funds raised will go to LCI: Project Pink, which provides free screening mammograms for uninsured women in our community. The Pink Bow Campaign donated bows and beads to fighters and survivors.

We were also thrilled to have three of our Advisory Board members as part of the Dream Team. A special thank you to Cathy Kane, Denise Kisko, and Maggie Fogel.

You never think it can happen to you but it can. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago. Since then I realized how important it is to promote awareness of the need for early detection. 

I learned about the Pink Bow Campaign and loved the idea of giving back to the community by “pinking up” my neighborhood. (special thanks to the women who help me). I love seeing all the pink bows on the mailboxes!

Being asked to be on the board has been a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about early detection, mammograms, breast health and giving back!

Please join us in thanking Denise for all of her continued efforts for The Pink Bow Campaign and the fight against breast cancer!

Thank you Denise!

May is Mental Health Awareness month, and while every day is a great time to take care of your mental health, take some extra time this month to care for your body and mind — they’re connected!

Be kind to yourself, get your annual mammograms, and know you aren’t alone!

The Pink Bow Campaign would like to introduce our next Advisory Board member – Crissie Jones.

Hi, my name is Crissie and I became involved with the Pink Bow Campaign over 5 years ago when I took over my neighborhood campaign.  I loved seeing the pink bows in my neighborhood and around town.  Being that I knew so many women affected by breast cancer I jumped at the opportunity to get more involved.  I was asked to join the board last year and am excited for the opportunity to help raise awareness about breast cancer, the importance of getting an annual mammogram, and educate women on how early detection saves lives.  I am so proud and fortunate to be involved in this organization and encourage others to get involved in the fight against breast cancer as well. 

Please join us in thanking Crissie for all of her continued efforts with The Pink Bow Campaign, Inc. and the fight against breast cancer!

Thank you Crissie!

The Pink Bow Campaign, Inc. would like to introduce our next Advisory Board member – Cathy Kane.

I come from a long line of women in my family affected by breast cancer. My grandmother had it—at a time, over 70 years ago, when a mastectomy was the only option; then her daughter, (my mother) was diagnosed when she was 48 years old (1970) and had a radical mastectomy and chemo. Her cancer returned and she passed away 5 years later at the age of 53. Then my older sister and I were diagnosed – we both opted for lumpectomies but I needed to have chemo and radiation.

Consequently, I am an active advocate for breast health and will do anything I can to help eradicate this disease. Convincing ladies to get their mammograms, putting pink bows up everywhere, raising money, donating money and getting people involved . . . until we find a cure. Too many people are affected by this disease!! The good news is we are getting closer, people don’t have to die from it anymore and the treatments are saving lives. However, there is NOT a cure yet, so the journey continues.

I joined the Pink Bow Campaign in 2016 shortly after we moved here from Greensboro. I heard about the Pink Bow Campaign from the Carolina Women’s Club of which I was a member. I put up a few bows around my neighborhood, raised a little money and donated it to the campaign. The next year, when I went for my annual mammogram, it was discovered that I had breast cancer. After my surgery, chemo and radiation treatments were completed and with my wig still in use, I got myself out there and put up the bows. This time, my friends, family and neighborhood all got involved. I quickly raised $3,000 that year. The following year,  I doubled that and had full participation in my neighborhood, the Firethorne Country Club, and put 210 bows on EVERY MAILBOX. The sea of pink bows on every single mailbox as people drove down the street was a sight to behold!

Since 2016 I have raised over $20,000 for the Pink Bow Campaign and I am still going strong. In 2021, Robin asked me if I would like to participate as a member of the The Pink Bow Campaign Advisory Board. I enthusiastically said “Yes!” and consider it an honor to serve on the Board.

Additionally, I now have a small group of ladies in Firethorne  called “Team Pink” who cheerfully show up at my house on October 1^st, grab a bag of pink bows and joyously start tying them on all the mailboxes in our neighborhood for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I will do this every year as long as I am able to remind people that they need to schedule their mammogram and that it really does save lives. It certainly saved mine! I am so grateful! Get that Mammogram!

Please join us in thanking Cathy for all of her continued efforts with The Pink Bow Campaign, Inc. and the fight against breast cancer!

Thank you Cathy!
