Participating businesses were asked to design a pink drink to be promoted throughout October.
The only requirement was to have the drink be pink. It could be a cocktail, mocktail or seasonal favorite.

“The creativity and community spirit have been incredible,” said Marketing Director Marne Harding. “Seeing how each location has embraced the campaign, from crafting gorgeous pink drinks to coming up with unique and fun names like the ‘Molly Ringwald,’ ‘Pink Warrior’ and ‘Breast in Show.’ It has been truly inspiring. There’s something powerful about watching our community come together in such a joyful, lighthearted way to support those facing something so heavy."
This is the first year for the campaign.
“Our goal is to raise awareness, build strong community partnerships and lay the foundation for a long-standing annual tradition,” Harding said.
Snyder, who lives in Vandalia, founded the organization with her sister, Mandi Moore, after their older sister, Kelli James, lost her battle with breast cancer in 2006 at the age of 40.
Their first project, “5K for Kelli,” raised money for local charities that help women with breast cancer but in 2017 the fundraising focus was changed to help grant as many “breast wishes” as possible.
“When you Drink Pink, you’re helping grant joy-filled wishes for those living with breast cancer right here in our community,” Harding said.
