Friday, October 12, 7am – Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. The City of Prattville is asking all cancer survivors to join in a celebration of survival! In conjunction with the national campaign for breast cancer awareness, the City of Prattville will be gathering around the Historical Fountain at Heritage Park on Friday, October 12th at 7am, to "turn the fountain pink" in acknowledgment of local breast cancer survivors.

Local survivors will release pink balloons as a symbol of "letting go" of the cancer, as Mayor Bill Gillespie, Jr. and survivors turn the water in the fountain pink. The City is excited to have this opportunity to show support to breast cancer fighters, to admire the survivors and honor the taken, while encouraging hope and breast cancer awareness. This will be the 4th annual event and the City of Prattville is hoping for an even bigger turnout. This date is also being promoted as "Wear Pink Day."

For more information, or if you are a local breast cancer survivor and would like to participate in the event, please call the City of Prattville's Special Events office at 334-358-0297.
