Pink Up Lauderhill - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Presented by the City of Lauderhill 

The City of Lauderhill celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month by teaming up with breast cancer awareness advocates like Tracy Milgrim from BRCA Strong for the 4th Annual Pink Up Lauderhill - two days of awareness, education, and community events. Pink Up Lauderhill seeks to raise money in order to help ease the financial worries of Lauderhill breast cancer patients, in hopes of providing some financial peace of mind to those who are undergoing treatment.

Join us as we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Community Bike Ride, lighting of the 16 foot tall pink breast cancer ribbon mounted high on City Hall, local health vendors, entertainment, and keynote speakers. In addition, through education and awareness, we look to share knowledge about breast cancer and it's affects on all ages and sexes; alongside advocation for early detection and mammogram screening.
