The Pink Agenda’s mission has never been more essential: 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and incidence rates continue to rise—both globally and here in the United States, especially among younger women. These numbers remind us that our work is as important now as it has ever been.
That’s why we remain steadfast in our commitment to raise money to invest in groundbreaking research and critical patient care. We continue to raise awareness, ensuring our community stays informed with the latest information. And, of course, we will always raise a little hell—because while our mission is serious, we believe in finding moments of joy and connection along the way.
This fall, The Pink Agenda had a packed calendar, holding several events nationwide – all a powerful testament to the strength of our community and the difference we can make together. From inspiring moments to record-breaking achievements, these gatherings showcased what is possible when we unite with purpose. Thanks to the support of attendees, sponsors, and partners, The Pink Agenda is well-positioned to continue its critical work of funding life-changing breast cancer research and providing hope to those affected by the disease. Together, we are making strides toward a future free from breast cancer.
