Grandview YMCA to host Party in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
MILLBROOK, Ala. (WAKA) — The Grandview Family YMCA will kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its Party in Pink event Saturday, Oct. 3, honoring breast cancer survivors and raising awareness about the disease.
The event will feature Zumba classes, cooking demonstrations and giveaways. Families and people of all ages are encouraged to attend and wear pink in support of those affected by breast cancer.
