Paint town pink drive will begin

Whitman Hospital is seeking businesses to have a donation jar at their counter to help raise funds for the “Paint the Town Pink” fund. Those who donate can put their name in a drawing for a door prize.

The Colfax fund was established in 2017 to increase awareness of breast cancer and to raise funds to help those who may need financial assistance with breast health services at the Whitman Hospital. The funds are distributed through a partnership with Every Women Can and Breast Cervical and Colon Health Program.

Those interested in participating can email Sara DeLong, and she will provide a poster, jar and raffle tickets.

Businesses can also participate by entering in the window decorating contest. Windows must be decorated and entries submitted by Oct. 11. Judging will be done Oct. 14 through Oct. 18.
