You Look Good in Pink

Thirty pink ribbons strikingly displayed along Main Street in Sylva are sponsored by WestCare Health System as part of its annual breast cancer awareness drive. The drive coincides with national Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Get your own pink ribbon for $1 at several local stores, including Goody's in Jackson Plaza. Proceeds go to fund breast cancer research.

WestCare invites you to write a loved one's name on an ornament and place it on a Tree of Hope in the lobbies of the hospitals in Jackson and Swain counties and at the WestCare Medical Park in Franklin.

WestCare is sponsoring two walks, called Hoping for the Cure, on Friday, October 12. Meet in the Sylva's Harris Regional Hospital lobby at 11:30 a.m (the first 100 walkers will receive a breast cancer awareness water bottle) or in the First Baptist Church parking lot in Bryson City at 5 p.m. (the first 25 walkers will receive a breast cancer awareness water bottle). Everyone is encouraged to wear pink during the walks, which will last approximately two hours.
