Go Pink
Each October, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) and the TMH Foundation partner with our community to stand against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As the region’s leader in breast cancer care, TMH and the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center will host and participate in events focused on spreading awareness and providing education.
Our annual Go Pink initiative and partnership with the TMH Foundation also raises funds for breast cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, as well as research into its cause – and a cure.
When you give to the TMH Foundation, you directly impact local breast cancer patients, right here in Tallahassee.
See what we have planned this October and how you can join us below.

Support Our Walker Breast Program
You can provide financial support to patients at the Walker Breast Program in October and all year long through the TMH Foundation.
Patients fighting breast cancer need your help now more than ever.
These patients rely on the services your generosity provides, such as:
- PET scans, MRIs and mammograms for patients who do not have health insurance
- Hotel lodging for patients who have to travel and stay overnight in Tallahassee to receive treatment
- Gas or rides for patients who must drive long distances to Tallahassee for treatment or don’t have transportation
Simply put, your generosity allows the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center to support each patient in the way that’s most meaningful to them.
Give to the TMH Foundation at TMH.ORG/GivePink.
