Columbus, Ga. (September 19, 2023)— Join the Piedmont Columbus Regional Foundation at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center on Tuesday, Oct. 3 for the 23rd annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon as they raise funds for the Elena Amos Breast Care Center.

Doors will open at 10:30 a.m. so guests can enjoy the annual Pink Partner Expo. The tradition of entertaining will continue at 11:30 a.m. with lunch, a keynote address from Barbara Dooley (the wife of the late UGA football head coach Vince Dooley), and an inspiring story of hope from our featured breast cancer survivor Wanda Amos. 

If you are not able to join us on Tuesday, Oct. 3, you can still support this cause by hosting your own Lunch-In… Hope Wherever You Are virtual event any day starting Monday, Oct. 9. By becoming a host, you will receive a Lunch-In Box for you and seven guests with a choice of lunch delivered from our restaurant sponsor, table décor for eight and a private video viewing link.

Community support of this one-of-a-kind event last year raised over $116,000 to fund pink ribbon comfort bags for newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients. This year, event proceeds will be used to create Hope and Healing Gardens at the John B. Amos Cancer Center for patients and their care partners to enjoy.

“This annual luncheon has provided important financial support to fund equipment, patient support, and staff education,” said Executive Director of the Piedmont Columbus Regional Foundation Aline Lasseter. “Your support means more now than ever as we seek to enhance care for the over 23,000 patients we treat each year at the Elena Amos Breast Care Center.”
