Power of Pink
Created in 2007 to honor the outstanding efforts of a Tri-State individual or organization who has used their first or second-hand experience with breast cancer to give back to the community, The Power of Pink Award seeks to recognize the many valuable and often unnoticed people and services that are so instrumental in helping women as they begin their healing journey from this devastating disease.

The 2009 Power of Pink recipient is eight year breast cancer survivor Cathy Halloran. As founder of the nonprofit "Chicks and Chucks," Halloran has used her own bout with breast cancer to create an organization that provides financial and emotional support to women who have been diagnosed with the disease.
