Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a celebration dedicated to appreciating all mothers and maternal figures wherever they are in the globe. This day is perfect for showing gratitude and expressing thanks for the support and sacrifices mothers give their children.

Mother’s Day is very special to me – that’s because every year around Mother’s Day my mom, my sister, and I travel for a girl’s weekend to the beach. No boys allowed!  We laugh, eat, and enjoy the ocean. We celebrate my mom!

If it hadn’t been for a breast self-exam, we might not have this time together. My mom is a 25-year breast cancer survivor. She is my best friend, my cheerleader, my champion, and my biggest supporter. She is the most genuine and giving person on the planet and would without hesitation give you the shirt off her back.

I know that early detection saves lives. At the age of 57, my mom found a lump during a self-exam. She was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. During menopause she took hormone replacement therapy, and we believe it resulted in hormonal breast cancer. After a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation, she conquered breast cancer and inspired me to try to make a difference in our local community. That’s why I founded The Pink Bow Campaign, a non-profit organization raising funds and awareness for breast cancer. The pink bows are a symbol of hope and strength, a visual reminder to schedule your annual screening mammograms, and reinforce the message that early detection saves lives. The campaign offers pink bows for individuals, businesses, neighborhoods, teams, and schools to show support for those fighting breast cancer throughout the year.

Our accomplishments since 2021

  • Donated over $95,000 to Go Jen Go supporting their mission to help ease the emotional and financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Donated over $15,000 to MBC (metastatic breast cancer) Thrivers and Travelers to help provide bucket list trips for breast cancer patients.
  • Created a special bow for MBC Thrivers.
  • Donated over $1,000 to an underserved local Latino community with pink bows and breast health information and resources.
  • Donated over 500 pink bows to survivors and thrivers for Run Jen Run and The Pink Cupcake walk.
  • Presented over 200 pink bows with messages of hope and 4 pink bow wreaths to the Novant Health Breast centers uptown and in Ballantyne for breast cancer patients.
  • Reached over 74 neighborhoods in and around the Charlotte area (Charlotte, Fort Mill, Huntersville, Indian Land, Indian Trail, Marvin, Matthews, Mint Hill, Monroe, Waxhaw, and Weddington).

Our 2024 Impact

If you are interested in becoming involved with The Pink Bow Campaign, volunteering, or being a corporate sponsor, we would love to speak with you. Please email robin@thepinkbowcampaign.org or call 704-800-6433.

Because of you…

We are excited to announce that through donations like yours and the participation of many local neighborhoods and community campaigns, we were able to:

Gift an astounding $35,000 to the Go Jen Go Foundation. They provide hope and critical support to families in the greater Charlotte area who are facing the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis. Funding helps cover monthly household bills such as rent, utilities, transportation, and groceries/necessities while patients are undergoing cancer treatment.

Gift $10,000 to the MBC Travelers. As part of our 2024 initiative to recognize metastatic breast cancer patients (MBC), we created an MBC Thriver pink bow. MBC Travelers empowers stage four breast cancer patients for bucket list travel. Our support gives patients the opportunity to join these trips and activities.

Most of all, THANK YOU! We hope that you will continue your support of The Pink Bow Campaign, Inc. in 2025. Together – We can make an impact – One Pink Bow at a Time!
