Special Events
Pink Elephant Luncheon
The Pink Elephant Fund was established in 2007 to provide mammogram scholarships to residents of Limestone County who do not have medical insurance or whose insurance does not cover mammograms. Since then, the fund has grown to provide scholarships for mammograms, new technologies that detect breast cancer sooner and other women's health supplies.
Thanks to the City of Athens, you can also purchase a pink garbage can where proceeds benefit the Foundation’s Pink Elephant Fund.

Puttin on the Glitz Gala- Denim and Diamonds Murder Mystery
The Glitz Gala is an annual event, held in April, designed to raise funds for the hospital. In 2018, the Foundation raised more than $80,000 for sleeper recliner chairs to use in the hospital. Funds from the 2019 Gala will go towards the purchase of a new Cardiac Ultrasound Machine for the hospital. Thank you for your support!
