Unfortunately, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection and treatment increases the odds of beating cancer.

The goal of the Empty Pink Chair Project is to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. The chair represents someone that has lost their life to breast cancer. The chair serves as a gentle reminder that getting your annual mammogram and detecting cancer as early as possible is the key first step to beating cancer.

All the money raised will go to the Pretty in Pink Foundation, which is an amazing local charity that provides uninsured and under-insured breast cancer patients in North Carolina with financial assistance for quality, life-saving medical treatment. There is no minimum donation to sponsor a chair.

For the sponsorship of a chair: a beautiful hand painted pink chair will be placed at the sponsors business with a plaque stating the significance of the chair for the month of October. Each sponsor will be featured on ours as well as the Pretty in Pink Foundation's social media and website. When we place the chair we will take a picture at the sponsors place of business and include picture in all posts.
