Yankee Candle and My Pink Scarf, Inc.
October 3, 2009
Yankee Candle in Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND is sellling pink candles and car freshners and a portion of each sale will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
The managers at the Bismarck store like to feature local, non-profit businesses and they have asked My Pink Scarf, Inc. to have a display next to the candles and car freshners. It’s really beautiful!
Thank you, Danielle and Peggy!
Hays Medical Center Volunteer Newsletter
September 6, 2009
Debra M., Past President, of the Hays Medical Center Volunteer Newsletter wrote about My Pink Scarf, Inc. in the Summer 2009 Newsletter.
The Hays Medical Center Volunteers are excited about a new project that was started at Hays Medical Center in October. Volunteers knit or crochet pink scarves for women who have been diagnosed with cancer. Volunteers include fifth graders, middle school, high school and college students and faculty, community members, and of course, HMC Volunteers and Staff. The project has spread by “word of mouth” and now includes more than 190 participants from four states and 26 Kansas communities.
Many contributors have personal connections and stories to make their participation meaningful to them as well as to the recipients. Distribution to patients of the Hays Medical Center Dreiling/Schmidt Cancer Institute began in January. Over 900 scarves have been knitted or crocheted.
Recipients are surprised and very pleased to receive the scarves. One sent a note saying “Thank you for the beautiful scarf. It certainly touched my heart. What a wonderful, caring project. May God bless each and every one who had a part in the project, especially the angel that created mine.”
Pink Scarf and Brazil

A pink scarf was mailed to a breast cancer survivor in Brazil. I’m thrilled that she contacted me and requested a scarf. It’s the perfect time for her to receive it because it’s winter in Brazil now. Enjoy!
