Want to Paint Your House Pink? Sign Up Deadline is Friday

It's less than a month until and become for Paint the Town Pink.  That's the time when residents and businesses are invited to swath their homes and workplaces in Pepto pink to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Riverview Medical Center runs the annual event now in its sixth year. To boost engagement Riverview will run a contest to see who can out pink their neighbors from May 4 through May 12.

Each participating home will receive a Paint the Town Pink Starter Kit to get the pink creativity flowing. Residents can either decorate their houses using the starter kit, or can enter the house decorating contest and put their creativity to the test. In past years, residents have wowed us with some unique pink decorations and survivor tributes.

If you sign up by Friday April 13, a starter kit will be dropped off to your home.

The kit includes:

• Paint the Town Pink lawn sign
• Paint the Town Pink flag
• Paint the Town Pink window cling
• Pink bow 
• Washable pink window marker

The contest entrants will be judged by our panel of Pink judges the weekend of May 12. There will be three winners per town, one in each category of :

• Most Creative
• In Honor of a Survivor
• Pinkest House

Paint the Town Pink was created with the goal to encourage women aged 40 and older to pledge to have their annual mammogram, as well as raise funds to provide mammography to the uninsured and underserved in our community.

To sign up to pink your house visit Paint the Town Pink and click on “Pink Your House.” The entry deadline is April 13.
