Wisconsin Laundry is Top Donor to Local Breast Health Fund

Pink Possible supports cancer patients by purchasing massage therapy sessions, wigs

OSHKOSH, Wis. — Oshkosh Express Laundry Center recently presented a $2,417 check to Aurora Health Care Foundation’s Pink Possible Breast Health Fund. The annual campaign staged each October engages local businesses to raise money for Aurora Cancer Care breast cancer patients and their families.

Express Laundry Center was the leading contributor to the cause this year, according to Foundation Coordinator Molly Yatso-Butz, Aurora Health Care Foundation, North Region.

“Money raised through Pink Possible will support breast cancer patients by purchasing massage therapy sessions and wigs during their breast cancer journey,” she says.

The laundry donated the proceeds of Pink Possible shopping bags and 5% of its October sales to the cause, according to Manager Karen Cooley.

“We are pleased to once again be involved in raising money for Pink Possible,” says Cooley. “In our three years of involvement, we’ve raised more than $6,000. We hope once again that our contribution will positively impact the lives of many in the Fox Valley area.

“We love being involved in, and partnering with local organizations,” she adds. “Community matters to us and we are glad to be part of this community.”

Last year, Pink Possible raised $65,000 throughout Wisconsin to support breast cancer patient education, prevention, patient experience, research and survivorship programming.
