On Saturday, October27 , the public will have a chance to browse a 40,000 sq. ft. showroom displaying 200 unique cars including Corvettes, muscle cars and exotics. Ken and Kristen Lingenfelter are opening the doors to their private Lingenfelter Collection - rated one of the top car collections in the World – to raise money and awareness for programs of The Pink Fund.
The mission of The Pink Fund is to provide a 90 day non-medical financial bridge to breast cancer patients in active treatment. Expenses supported include health insurance premiums, housing, transportation and utilities. The Pink Fund helps to meet basic needs and decrease stress levels, helping breast cancer patients strengthen their fight to improve survivorship outcomes and quality of life.
“While fighting for their lives, men and women in treatment for breast cancer often lose their livelihood,” said Molly McDonald, Founder, The Pink Fund. “It is through the generosity of others, and wonderful fundraisers like the Lingenfelter Collection Open House, that The Pink Fund is able to provide financial support to help meet basic needs, decrease stress levels and allow breast cancer patients to focus on healing while improving survivorship outcomes.”
