This is the third year that the Breast Cancer Detection Center led Fairbanks in Painting the Town Pink.

Did you notice the pink ribbons up and down Airport Way and Cushman streets? BCDC, with the help of the Fairbanks Correctional Facility hung those up for all to remember National Breast Cancer Awareness month and to support local breast cancer survivors. The ribbons were hung right after the kick off event: “The Sixth Annual Gala Hat Affair” which featured Dee Dee Jonrowe as its guest speaker. With the support of local merchants, our volunteers and our presenting sponsor Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, BCDC raised over $49,000 at that event to help pay for mammograms. Local breast cancer survivors signed a giant pink ribbon that is hung over the BCDC doors at our building
