Think Pink Monroe Logo Unveiled

A group of Monroe town residents organized a campaign called "Think Pink Monroe" in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention. Funds raised through the program will benefit cancer patients and their families through St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation/SWIM Across the Sound.

The group wanted a logo to brand the organization so they turned to Monroe resident Dawn Barbierri. Barbierri, who volunteered her time to work on this project, created several images and the group voted on their favorite which can be seen below. The new logo will be used on all promotional materials including signs, lawn signs, flyers, information sheets and others.

Think Pink Monroe (TPM) is led by breast cancer survivor Bonnie Maur with the support of First Selectman Kenneth M. Kellogg. Maur is joined by other volunteers including Patti Kallas, Tax Collector Deborah Heim, Matthew Hirsch, Town Councilman Jason Maur, Vicky Kazlauskas and Chris Howard.

Think Pink Monroe will kick off at the Farmer's Market on Friday, September 27 from 3 to 6 PM. The SWIM's Mobile Mammography Coach will be there to test women. A Vigil will be held in October 2019 to raise awareness, honor survivors and remember those lost.

TPM is seeking sponsors of this inaugural program. Individuals and businesses who sponsor will be recognized through the Think Pink Monroe program. Contributions are tax-deductible as allowable by law. Contributions can be made at 475-210-7308 or online at www.swimacrossthesound.org Note: Think Pink Monroe
