Support Seymour Pink With Your Holiday Shopping
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support
Seymour Pink every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at
smile.amazon.com, you'll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to us!
The first time you go to
smile.amazon.com, you will log in to your regular Amazon account and then type in
SEYMOUR PINK to select us as your charity. A portion of any future eligible purchases will come to Pink. You shop anyway, why not support
Pink while you do it! Every little bit helps.
Speaking of shopping - this year, the Seymour Pink Gift Shop will be participating in Small Business Saturday - November 28th. On the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, American Express encourages people to
shop local and support small businesses over the big box stores. So come shop... the store will be open 10am-3pm.

$50,000 in donations just from this 5k!
YOUR IMPACT is HUGE! THANK YOU!...

Making a Difference
On Oct. 21st, at Yale/Smilow Breast Cancer Center, Seymour Pink presented a check for $10,000 to be used to support 2 programs associated with Smilow Breast Cancer Center.
1. Five thousand dollars was given to support Breast Patient Infertility Counseling. An initiative which would allow financially challenged young patients to participate in post-chemotherapy fertility counseling and treatment. This would allow women to seek their treatments for the breast cancer without affe
cting their options to have children, after treatment.
2. Five thousand dollars was given in support of Dr. Andrea Siber, who often works with financially challenged breast cancer patients from the Derby and surrounding areas, such as Seymour, (her office is in Derby) who need additional support when undergoing treatment. For many, this diagnosis throws them into a group of working poor so to speak...no work, no pay and insurance if any with high deductibles.
Once again this community's FIGHT has its impact locally. THANK YOU to all who support Seymour Pink's mission..
