Why It Matters
Breast cancer outcomes are shaped by access. Too many people delay screening or diagnostic follow-up because of cost, insurance status, transportation, language, or other barriers.
The ALX Pink Gala helps fund the Breast Cancer Collective’s work to remove those barriers. Through the Collective Care Program, we connect uninsured and under-insured neighbors with trusted partners for mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, MRIs, and follow-up imaging.
Last year alone, the Breast Cancer Collective funded more than 800 screening mammograms, supported more than 200 diagnostic tests, and reached more than 1,000 community members through outreach and health fairs.
Your ticket, sponsorship, or donation helps more people get care and answers sooner.

Sponsors receive event visibility, community recognition, and opportunities to connect with guests, partners, and local leaders who care about improving access to breast cancer care.
