All monies raised will be used to fund the local 2011 Pink Heals event in August. 

Last year, Jerome hosted the Pink Heals Tour and raised $1,200 for women battling cancer in the Verde Valley. This year, the Pink Heals fundraising tour will be a three-day event that begins on Friday, August 5, 2011 from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. in Cottonwood.

On Saturday morning, August 6 2011, from 7:30 a.m. until Noon, the Team Native Spirit in Camp Verde will host a mini walk in preparation for the big Pink Ribbon walk and, on that same day, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Cornville will sponsor a 2011 Pink Heals event in Windmill Park.

On Sunday morning, August 7 2011, the Pink Fire trucks will be in Jerome (Arizona) for a few hours. More 2011 Pink Heals tour information will be forthcoming as it develops.

Help support Verde Valley women fight cancer during these Pink Heals events and begin by visiting the April 30 yard sale in Cornville this weekend.

Please contact me with questions. Thank you.
