In The Pink, a group of local belly dancers who happen to be cancer survivors, held a fundraiser for the PBCC.  Pat Giovannini (2nd from left) and Liz Yarnell (3rd from left) were the event organizers along with Pat's husband, Michael.  Here they pose with PBCC staffers Tricia Grove and Jen Fetich.

Various belly dancing troupes put on a show at Highspire Memorial Park in Harrisburg.

The colors were beautiful.

As were the dancers!

Many motorcycles lined the parking lot.

The belly dancers judged the motorcycles and gave out a "Harem Award" for best bike.  The belly dancers in this photo are all cancer survivors (3 are breast cancer survivors) and the woman who won the award is a breast cancer survivor!  $2500 was raised!  Thanks to Pat, Michael, Liz, In The Pink, and everyone involved!

It's become an annual tradition to take Mom to the Reading Phillies on Mother's Day to benefit the PBCC.  Samantha helped out along with her mom, Tricia, a PBCC staffer!

Dennis and Jo Ann set up the PBCC's info table and hand out information and giveaways.

Players wore pink jerseys, which were raffled off after the game.  If you look closely, you can see that they even used pink bats!

The bases were also pink and were raffled off to three lucky winners.  Over $4000 was raised for the PBCC.  Thanks, R-Phils!  You hit another home run!

The Sophomore class at Linden Hall in Lititz decided to have a walk to benefit the PBCC.

The girls enjoyed the PBCC giveaways before setting off on a 5K walk through beautiful Lititz.

The walkers pose for a group shot in their handmade pink shirts.

Linden Hall is a private boarding school with a beautiful campus in quaint Lititz.  The walk route was marked by pink ribbons.

Even though the rain was coming down, over 100 students, parents, faculty, staff and friends walked the soggy route!

Over $1100 was raised for the PBCC and the school hopes to make this an annual event. 

PBCC Executive Director Heather Hibshman accepts a check from (L to R) Jacquelyn Keeney, Oge Erechukwu, Kristen Andersen, Ellie Rio and Kelsey Burgess.  Thanks, Linden Hall!

Dave Andrews, Director of Operations for Total Traffic Network at Clear Channel Radio in Harrisburg, was recently "jailed" for a good cause.

He chose to raise money for the PBCC.  He spent a few hours in this "cell" drumming up donations and did a great job!  So far he has raised $335 with more coming soon!

Here's Dave with his aunt, Marge Troutman.  Marge is a recent breast cancer survivor and the reason Dave chose the PBCC as his charity.  Way to go, Dave!  The PBCC thanks you and all your friends and family who donated to "bail you out"!

Once again, Play It Again for Charity held a hugely fun and successful fundraiser for the PBCC.  The Hanson Brothers from the Slap Shot movies took to the ice with pink sticks, socks, laces and pucks and played against two teams of local talent.

The Hanson Brothers goof around with fans Luke and Marc Andes after the game.  The guys couldn't be nicer, staying to sign autographs until every last fan was gone!

A small selection of the awesome raffle prizes available at the event!  There was something for everyone.

The Hanson Brothers played two local teams, the Red Robins and the Harbor House Crabs.

The Schaffers organize and work the raffle every year and have things under control!

Jen Fetich, volunteer Kristine Warner, and Heather Hibshman worked the PBCC info table and sold pink pucks and event caps.  Over $5000 was made that night for the PBCC.  Thanks to everyone who makes this a fun and successful event every year!

Once again, the Northeast Rockers Jamfest tournament was held to benefit the PBCC.  Games were played all weekend long in gyms all across northeast Philadelphia.

Marty and Colleen Bednarek, along with two players, present a $2500 check to Dolores Magro.

Lots of girls played in the tournament and wore pink shirts for the event.

These girls show that they "think pink"!  We thank Marty and Colleen, all the players, and everyone who came out to show their support!

Pictured from left to right are Eastern York Middle School 6th Graders Conrad R., Austin R., Lucas B. and David L.  The boys participated in the annual Eastern York "Dollars for Scholars" 3 on 3 basketball tournament in March and played well.  They decided to create customized jerseys that featured the breast cancer awareness symbol, along with pink names and numbers on the back and a modified team mascot on the front.  The uniform was capped off with a pink armband as well.  To honor their mothers, the boys collected $100 to donate to the PBCC.  This was in addition to their contribution to "Dollars for Scholars".  Their mothers are Cheryl, Tricia, Jonna and Angie.

The boys did not win the tournament, but learned an invaluable life lesson demonstrated by their willingness to help others.  The color pink now has a new meaning to all four of these outstanding young men.

Way to go, guys!  Now that's true teamwork!  Thanks so much!

Every Friday at PennEngineering & Manufacturing Corp., employees have the option to wear jeans.  They put a $2 donation in a collection box along with their name.  At the end of the month one person is chosen and the accumulated donations go to the winner's chosen charity.  Andy Ritting's name was drawn from the March ballots and he chose to donate the $179 to the PBCC.  Thanks Andy and PennEngineering!
