Welcome to The Augusta Chronicle's We Think Pink in Augusta website! Here you'll find inspiring stories of cancer survivors and information on resources and events throughout the area, including our own We Think Pink Banquet.
Each year, The Augusta Chronicle works to raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer with a visual show of support in our annual "pink" paper edition on October 1. Yes, it's actually pink! When an ad is purchased in the pink paper, a portion of the proceeds goes to support the Lydia Project.
The Lydia Project is an organization that provides support for women facing any type of cancer anywhere in the world. Their support comes in many forms including a handmade tote filled with encouraging items and even financial assistance for rent, utilities and prescriptions for women living in Aiken, Burke, Columbia and Richmond Counties
The Augusta Chronicle also hosts our annual We Think Pink Banquet as another way to bring awareness and to celebrate breast cancer survivors. In the past, speakers such as author Kris Carr, Barbara Dooley and Hoda Kotb have come to share their stories with us. This year's event is on October 24 at the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center on the river in downtown Augusta. A silent auction will be held before the event starting at 6pm with proceeds benefiting University Health Care Foundation to support their Breast Health Center and its Mobile Mammography Unit. Also, a portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold to the banquet will also go to benefit the Foundation.
We hope you'll join us in the support of this important cause!
