Paint The Town Pink

Paint The Town Pink

We are excited to announce Paint The Town Pink returns! And with a new sponsor. In addition to our long-time work with the Savannah Morning News, WSAV is joining us as media sponsor. This means will will have even more avenues to raise awareness and educate our community about mammography screening and prevention of breast cancer.

Paint The Town Pink is a fundraising campaign that raises money for the Telfair Mammography Fund. The purpose of Telfair Mammography Fund is to provide no-cost breast health services to uninsured and underinsured individuals. These services include screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, MRI and image-guided breast biopsies.

With support from campaigns like Paint The Town Pink, we have helped thousands of women since the Mammography Fund was created in 2005. You can donate to the Telfair Mammography Fund year round. Please donate today and help us help thousands more.
