Come out to Switchyard Park to support breast cancer awareness and support services for breast cancer patients and survivors. During the entire month of October, we will Paint the Town Pink! Local businesses can sign up to get their windows painted pink with ribbons and breast cancer awareness messages. Cancer Support Community is partnering with the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation department, IU Health, and IU School of Medicine to provide resources and educational material to local businesses.
Awareness Saves Lives—Melody Martin started the Breast Cancer Awareness walk over 25 years ago, because she believed had she gotten her diagnosis sooner, her outcome may have been different. We remember and honor Melody's mission in life—to empower women to identify breast cancer sooner, to have the best chance of survival.
On November 1, 2026 come to Switchyard Park from 1:00 - 4:00 pm for Paint the Town Pink celebration. The event will feature a Breast Cancer Survivor Ceremony, followed by a walk on Switchyard Park's half mile or one mile walking trail. Through the event educational materials and a resource fair will be available. Food trucks will be onsite with some delicious local flavor. This event is free and open to the public. Paint the Town Pink shirts are available through pre-registration.
Donations to the walk support a local breast cancer support group, SAVI bras for radiation patients, and oncology massages for breast cancer patients through Cancer Support Community.
