Pella in Pink, presented by the Pella Regional Health Center Foundation, will be held on Sunday at 2 pm at the Cordova Park Pavilion at Lake Red Rock. 

The event will include a brief program, activities for all ages, and a nature hike on the Karr Trail. Pella Regional Health Center Foundation Coordinator Jenny Hesseltine says that the goal of the event is to raise awareness of breast cancer and support patients through expanding breast care programming at Pella Regional. 

“We all know someone who’s been affected by this. It’s a crazy statistic to have to cite, but the current statistic is that one in eight women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. So, raising awareness of what we can do as women, to be preventative and to be on the front side of some of those things and just how to support each other when we do know somebody who’s on that journey.”
