University of Tennessee at Martin
“The University of Tennessee at Martin Volleyball team set a perfectly pink example for their peers by turning their home pages pink to help spread awareness. These ladies went all out with pink shirts, pink socks, and even got the crowd involved! In women aged 20-24, 1 in 100,000 will be diagnosed, which is why it’s important to know what’s normal for you! We love seeing young women spreading awareness and renewing the commitment to the cause of eradicating breast cancer!

St. Rose of Lima
“The faculty and staff of St. Rose of Lima in New York turned their school pink for a day by donating $5 each to wear their Passionately Pink lapel pins and something pink. This year even the students got involved! Students who donated $1 were allowed to dress down (no uniforms), wear something pink, and receive a breast cancer awareness sticker in return. They even got their principal to dress up in pink!

Passionately Pink Freshman: Don't Be Blue, Be Pink
The Blue Springs School District is perfectly proud of their Passionately Pink freshmen, who have been Passionately Pink for the Cure® for two years in a row. They wore pink with style, and sold pink t-shirts and hundreds upon hundreds of pink donuts. They also had an Awareness Wall festooned with over 350 dedication ribbons. The freshmen were so inspirational in their colorful fundraising that local businesses were only too eager to donate money and donuts! In addition, they got local media and newspapers to pay attention, which helped the freshmen achieve one of their chief goals: to make students more aware of breast cancer and its relevance to their own young lives. The goal of this year’s fundraising effort is $5,000.
