Lori Elliott of Make it Sew in Lincoln stands beside a variety of pink fabrics in her shop. Like the fabric, cancer comes in many varieties, even breast cancer has more than one 'type.’ No matter what kind of cancer one may have the fabric of their lives becomes woven with worries, but also with hope as we see more and more survivors of this disease. Lori was one of the many folks who donated an item to the Pink Pumpkin Auction on Thursday evening, helping to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Money raised will be designated for breast cancer research and support.

Another donor at the Thursday night auction was Remington Seed. Their donation of 'Pretty in Pink Latte" was the first item to sell. The company staff also wear their pink shirts in support of those who are currently in battle with breast cancer. Their hope is to plant a seed of hope for all those who are in battle, and to let them know they are not alone.
