Discover Pink Walk

Join us for Discover Pink, in its 18th year, where we'll walk and run to raise important funds for breast health services and to remind the community of the importance of screening in the early detection of breast cancer.    For the health and safety of our participants, Discover Pink is being held virtually, again, this year!  Walk or run where you are and when you want.  We'll kick off Discover Pink on October 1st, but you can walk or run anytime in October.   Support Women's Access to Breast Health Care  

Discover Pink promotes awareness of the importance of screening in the early detection of breast cancer while raising important dollars for Project Access Network’s breast health program, which connects the underserved in Marion and Polk Counties to needed breast health care. 

Project Access Network (PAN) partners with area healthcare providers to connect to donated care those who have exhausted all of their options.  PAN community health workers then help with overcoming barriers to accessing this care, such as scheduling, language and transportation, ensuring that an average of 98% of participants attend their appointments.  Between July 2021 and June 2022, Project Access Network helped 137, mainly Latina, women in Marion & Polk Counties get their breast cancer screening and diagnostic services and assisted four of these women to receive treatment after they were diagnosed with breast cancer.
