Pink Glimmers Foundation
About Us
Pink Glimmers Foundation
Shakespeare famously wrote “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” So, as I contemplated naming the Pink Glimmers Foundation, I was grounded in what I wanted to accomplish, recognizing that it is the work that matters. But, branding and names are important so here is my reasoning:
Pink: A color that comes in many shades, from moody, to vibrant to playful to calming, but more importantly an unmistakable tie-in to breast cancer.
Glimmers: Small moments of joy, that can be found every day, even during the most difficult times. My mantra during my breast cancer journey is to “find the glimmers” every day, even on the hardest days. Some days it is a beautiful sunrise, or the coffee my husband brings to me as I awaken, or a beautiful bird alighting so I get a the perfect glimpse, or a nurse who is particularly skilled at a blood draw or the surgeon who inspires confidence so you know you are in the best medical hands, or the medical tattoos at the end of a long reconstruction journey that made you feel complete. These glimmers can sustain us, even on very hard days.
The Pink Glimmers Foundation hopes to provide glimmers of hope and joy to others facing breast reconstruction.
