What is you idea?
Our
idea is In the Pink...a one-stop shop for women with all types of cancer.
As a non-profit, we are always searching for creative ways to generate
funding. We brought dragon boating to Jacksonville as another healthy
activity to get cancer patients engaged after treatment. It was so well
received that we opened up paddling to all people. We now have several
teams that paddle all year long. We hosted Jacksonville's first dragon
boat festival in September 2013. In the Pink hosts several dragon boat teams. This sport is for everyone, regardless of age of athleticism. For more information, contact Marty at 536-3475 or email: millardm@comcast.net. We have one team for breast cancer survivors only called the Mammoglams. The funds raised at the festival stay at
In the Pink, helping men, women and children in the Jacksonville area.
We
decided to participate in One Spark to expose people to In the Pink and the
dragon boat festival. We hope to generate funding to assist US in
expanding our services for cancer patients.
One
Spark has been great. We have met many people who were unaware of In the
Pink yet know people who are in need of our services. We have also found
a lot of people who are interested in being involved in the dragon boat
festival on September 27, 2014!
What's next?
After
One Spark, we will continue to pursue funding to allow us to continue our
services at In the Pink. www.jaxinthepink.net
