October 1, 2023 - PINKN’ DAY
Send a beautiful hand-painted pumpkin; aka Pinkn’, to a loved one on Pinkn’ Day-23. Do you have a friend that you would like to remember, or maybe a loved one that is battling or survived breast cancer? Show them your support by sending them a small Pinkn’ (about the size of a grapefruit) that will be hand-delivered by one of our volunteers in Grand Rapids and the surrounding 20-mile area. Not in the Grand Rapids area, that’s ok, we can ship them anywhere in the world for you (additional shipping charges apply). Stay tuned for pre-order, and delivery instructions. 100% of the donations go towards the Pinkn’ Patch breast cancer support fund.
