Join CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center for the 18th annual Pink! Gala on Saturday, January 21 at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
Pink! is a celebration of life for breast cancer patients and survivors that has raised more than $5.2 million since 2006. Drs. Brooke and Davey Daniel and Jimar and Gabby Sanders will co-chair the annual signature black-tie event.
All proceeds from Pink! stay here in our community to ensure the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial has the latest technology available and provides the highest quality care available to women in need, as well as, helping provide college scholarships to children who have had a parent experience breast cancer.
