Steppin Steps Up Donations

The numbers are in and it was another successful Steppin Out in Pink event

this year. Representatives from Gundersen Health System say this past Saturday 6,300 walkers, including 350 breast cancer survivors, from all over the area dressed in pink to participate in the ninth annual Steppin Out in Pink and raised close to $370 thousand with pledges still coming in. Through its nine years of existence, Steppin Out in Pink participation has more than doubled and brought in nearly $3.4 million to fund breast cancer research initiatives at Gundersen Medical Foundation; provide assistance to breast cancer patients in need; and lend support to the services of the Center for Cancer Blood Disorders and Norma J. Vinger Center for Breast Care.
