The Pink Ladies take part in the Greeley, CO Relay For Life and have been active participants for the past 14 years raising more than $325,000 for Relay. This year, they were honored at the Pink Ladies Brunch as a Top 5 team in District K within the American Cancer Society's Great West Division.
An excerpt from the article that ran in the Greeley Tribune stated:
The group averages about 15 members a year, Sills says, with all of the original members still participating.
“You can become a Pink Lady just if you express an interest,” Sills said, although she added there are a couple of requirements for anyone wishing to join the Pink Ladies team. “We’re all breast cancer survivors, and you have to have or have had breast cancer. We also require each person to raise at least $1,000 each relay.”
Sills said their goal each year is to raise the most money.
“Some years we’ve raised as much as $33,000. Last year I think we raised about $27,000, but we’ve come a long way because when we first started we were delighted to raise $3,000,” she said. “We’ve just been fortunate.”
