Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital’s Breast Leadership Team and the Jennie Edmundson Foundation ( jehfoundation.org) team up again to provide the community with education and awareness in its fight against breast cancer.
For well over a decade, the JE Foundation has been raising awareness and funds to support women in their fight against breast cancer. Since the inception of the Pink-Out Campaign, sisters Caitlin and Erinn Bersford have been very instrumental in the JE Foundation October events. Breast cancer awareness is personal to them as their mother’s only sister lost her battle to breast cancer at a very early age. Caitlin leads the committee work, especially with her most favorite activity, “Pinkercise” at Council Bluffs Jazzercise. This year’s “Pinkercise” will be held on Saturday, October 19, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Mark your calendar for Pink-Out Council Bluffs on Friday, October 11 and Pink-Out Mills County on Thursday, October 23. These areas celebrate by inviting everyone to show their support by wearing PINK. On October 23, the Keith Klan Bingo event will begin at 6:30 p.m. along with a Bra Decorating Contest!
Funds raised from the sale of the ‘Support Squad” 2024 PinkOut T-shirts, and other events during the month, go to support the Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Out Campaign. Find out how you can purchase a Pink-Out T-shirt, help support “Breast Cancer Awareness” or participate in events by contacting the JE Foundation at (712) 396-6040 or visit the website at jehfoundation.org/events/pinkout-sw-iowa.
