Hiya Pinkies! We’ve been blessed to receive dozens of requests lately from Pinkies who wish to be of service. At first, I was speechless. Why would you want to help little ol’ me? But now I realize that really, you wish to serve Owning Pink, to give back to the community that has given so much to you. Some of you enjoy volunteering for various organizations committed to doing good in the world, and you’ve chosen Owning Pink as the do-good organization you wish to support (thank you thank you!!!). Once I got over the “Why me?” wonderment, I learned to graciously say “Yes.” So I’m writing this to help those of you who wish to support us choose your own special way to help Owning Pink grow, reach others in need, continue its ministry, and thrive.



Help Us Build Traffic

The single best thing you can do for us is help us grow our numbers. The more Pinkies care about what we’re doing, the more we can grow and succeed in our mission. How can we recruit Pinkies? Do you know someone in need? Maybe you know someone in the midst of a divorce, who recently lost a loved one, who is struggling financially, who is having a health crisis, who just needs some extra TLC to help them get their mojo back? Maybe you know someone who can really serve those in need- maybe someone who is really gifted at communicating, who has time to offer support to those who need help? Please invite them to be with us.

I see some of you shaking your heads, wishing you had more to give, but please don't feel bad. You all do SO much. Simply help us hold the intention that we wish to be of service in the world and need to become self-sustaining in order to continue our healing outreach. Please, Pinkies- don’t feel in any way pressured to help us other than just being here, holding the space, showing up every day to be among us. But if you’re one of those Pinkies who has been wanting to know how you might give back, we just wanted to let you know what we were thinking…

Do you want to a part of where Owning Pink is going? Do you want to write for us, coach Pinkies, teach Owning Pink workshops, be a Pink blogger? Do you want to volunteer or help us spread the Pink message? Comment here and demonstrate your commitment...

Feeling supported by you every day,
