Men Wear Pink of Lane County

AMAZING!!! That is all I can say after last nights Real Men Wear Pink celebration! It was so great to be a part of this great fundraising campaign and to have a hand in helping Lane County rank #8 in the nation as well as break the $1 million raised mark! I was so humbled to not only be chosen as Rookie of the Year, but to be presented with the honor by last years winner and the very talented owner of the company I work for Ed Emberlin! Congratulations to our top Ambassador Matt Sidman who not only raised over $107,000 but ranked 6th nationally for all fundraisers! ???????????? I would like to thank @menwearpinkoflanecounty and all of the ambassadors for their encouragement and friendship! My beautiful girlfriend @keepersfit Sarah Keepers for her love, encouragement and support. My awesome best friend @berkleelyn Berklee Leary who lost her battle to this evil disease. As well as the many folks who are still fighting or have overcome the challenge of fighting breast cancer. I’m looking forward to next year and bringing more awareness as well as raising more funds to keep up the fight!

The 2024 #MenWearPinkofLaneCounty campaign has come to a close, and we made a real difference! Our campaign ranked 8th nationally by raising over a $250,000! It's been a pleasure to work with this group of guys (and dye my mustache pink). ??

Breast Cancer and Health Equity

NWCU's Nate Bill recently participated in the American Cancer Society Men Wear Pink Campaign. This campaign has been going on since 2013 and has helped raise over $50 million for breast cancer research. As an ambassador, Nate is helping to advance health equity through essential programs and services, believing that all people have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from breast cancer.

As October forges on, the push for donations continues! Help me reach my goal of $3,000. With these funds, people who are battling through get help with: -24/7 Cancer Helpline -Lodging During Treatment -Navigation Support -Rides to treatment -Connecting Cancer Survivors -Breast Cancer Support -Hair Loss and Post Surgical Products

Hey Duck fans, we will be out in full force. Come by and say hello, grab a drink, get a raffle ticket and support our campaign. It’s the final push and we are getting closer to our goal! Pass this on to your friends and family. https://lnkd.in/gBfQtmd6

Meet James Conners, one of our passionate Men Wear Pink of Lane County ambassadors! ?? Men Wear Pink is a powerful initiative that unites community leaders across the country to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support services. For James, his personal journey inspired him to take action. He shares, "I’m a Men Wear Pink Ambassador because my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Since her mother passed away from the same disease, our thoughts immediately went to the worst-case scenario. We went from immediate dread to thinking about how we would tell our three-year-old. After learning more about my wife’s specific type of breast cancer, her treatment schedule, the likelihood of success, and all the research and support programs available, we knew we would pull through. During that whole experience, we were amazed by how much information is available, and how much research has been done on different types of breast cancer and how to approach them. It was clear that the fight against breast cancer had come a long way. A lot of people think that once someone rings a bell, their battle for survival is over. The truth is their battle starts the day they are diagnosed and continues for the rest of their life. From doctor checkups and follow-up treatments, surviving cancer is a fight for the long haul. I continue to participate in Men Wear Pink because, as long as my wife continues to fight, so will I right alongside her.” Thank you, James, for turning your experience into a force for good! ??
