Pella in Pink will be held again this year at 2 pm on Sunday, October 5th at the Cordova Park Pavilion at Lake Red Rock. 

The event presented by the Pella Regional Health Center Foundation will include a brief program, family-friendly activities for all ages, and a 1.2 mile nature hike around the Karr Trail. The goal of the event is to raise awareness of breast cancer and support patients through expanding breast care programming at Pella Regional. Pella Regional Health Center Foundation Coordinator Jenny Hesseltine says that all funds raised through this year’s event will be used to support the capital campaign to bring the South Central Iowa Radiation Center to Pella Regional’s campus in partnership with Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.

“It is something that is so exciting to bring such a sophisticated level of care close to home, something that really sort of helps to complete the package of cancer care here at Pella Regional and in Marion County.”

Those planning to attend the event are asked to register by September 5th, and a link to sign up can be found here. Event shirt pick up will be Thursday, October 2nd from 3:30–5:30 pm at Pella Regional’s Main Entrance located at 404 Jefferson Street.
