Welcome to my fundraising page for Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter's 9th Annual Mother's Day Walk. Pink Heals is a true not for profit made up of all volunteers. Every dollar fundraised stays right in our community to help those battling. It is an organization that means a lot to me and I hope you are able to contribute.
This Mother's Day, Avi, Ranjiv and I will be walking to honor the memories of Annette Tanna and Wendy Loew.
Thank you for any amount you can give!
Pink Heals Mission
As the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter, we use the color Pink not for breast cancer but because it is the color of women! To us, it should not matter what type of illness she or her family has. We as a society have become such a caused based society, when the time has come that we all become people based. Our slogan and mission is simple.
The Vision
Pink Heals is targeting people not diseases. Although our main focus is the fight against cancer, we are here to serve those in need, no matter the illness. We are setting the example by being a true non-profit. 100% of every single fundraised dollar stays right here in the community. We are all volunteers, even at the National level. We are truly a movement for the people by the people. We are providing an environment through the pink fire trucks that is about love and hope first and about money second. Our pink fire trucks and pink police cars inspire; they bring the feel of love and caring right to the doorsteps of those in need. We team up with the community’s local police and fire departments, show up with lights and sirens, and deliver flowers, inspiration, support, love and sometimes financial help to those in need.
“The Pink Heals Tour” and the “Cares Enough to Wear Pink” program is about our community, our family, our neighbors, and our leaders and how it will help bring us back together to focus on our own people now, rather than on promises that were never kept, opportunities that were lost, and things that might have been. Pink will heal as long as we do it in service to our women and what they mean to us in our communities, not just because they are sick or stricken with cancer. Because if we use illness as the sole motivation for action, once the sickness is gone, so is our cause for coming together.”

We are use the color PINK not because of breast cancer...but because it is the color of women. We suppport Women and Their Families, Not Causes. We focus on the person, not their disease.
