Churchill Downs, Derby Divas and Norton Cancer Institute have announced that they will partner again this year to raise funds during the GI Kentucky Oaks to help provide care to local women who lack access to breast health screenings and services.
The partnership, which began in 2017, and Survivors Parade are the centerpieces of the Oaks Day Pink Out celebration to raise funds and drive breast and ovarian health awareness. Pink Out has raised $845,000 over the past nine years. This year, Churchill Downs will donate $50,000 to the Breast Health Program at Norton Cancer Institute.
“One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, so the continued partnership presents significant opportunity to bring hope to women across our community,” said Lynnie Meyer, Ed.D, R.N., CFRE, Norton Healthcare senior vice president and chief development officer.
