This year’s Power of Pink Walk fundraiser was the most successful to date, with the group able to donate over $11,000 to each of the four breast cancer patients. This year, Power of Pink, a multifaceted fundraising effort that concludes with a walk on Mother’s Day weekend, raised $47,174.02, meaning each of the recipients was given a check for $11,793.50 on Sunday, May 13.
This year’s recipients were Sabrina Reed, of Exeter, Amy Pointer, of Crane, Lori Webster, of Wheaton, and Rose Lawrence, of Exeter.
The first year, Power of Pink raised $1,000 for each of two women. McCracken said she never would have guessed it would have grown to what it is today. She shared, “When we started, we just set a goal that we wanted to give them each a thousand dollars. We were a little shy and put a little money in to get them that, but we were proud we made it to the goal.”
