Pink Aid is Proud to Announce Our Grant Recipients for 2020!

Since 2011, Pink Aid has been committed to supporting the work of organizations throughout the state of Connecticut that provide services including free breast cancer screening and help to cover non-medical expenses such as food cards, household bills, wigs, recovery garments and transportation for patients undergoing treatment.

All of our grant recipients align with our core mission, “to help local women survive breast cancer with compassion until there’s a cure.”
