The staff at Bonanza in Lincoln came together for a Paint the Paper Pink picture this past week, even as they prepare to say goodbye to patrons, many of whom have become close friends over the years. It's not surprising that this group would want to show their support for those battling breast cancer and all other cancers within our community. The business has long been noted for its support of community and love for the people, hosting free lunches for first responders on September 11th each year, and free lunch for all veterans on Veteran's Day. While the thought of losing this wonderful family business brings tears to our eyes, we wish Bret Borst and his staff all the best in the future!

When a woman has cancer there are a lot of worries and emotional challenges that she faces including thoughts of losing hair, losing weight, having skin damage from radiation and more. Robin Barton of Styles by Robin wants you all to know that you are beautiful, no matter what chapter of your battle you may be in right now. We see your beauty exuding from the inside out, and want you to see that too!

Robin was one of the many local businesses who donated items for the Pink Pumpkin auction last week, another testament that she loves and cares about those who are battling breast cancer. She and we hope you know that in our eyes you will always be beautiful.

On Saturday morning, 25 people and one very friendly pooch came together for the Lean On Me Survivor/Supporter Rally for all those who are dealing with any type of cancer in their lives. The rally, organized by Lincoln Daily News intended to bring together those who are survivors, those battling, caregivers, supporters, and the public, all in a show of unity to let cancer victims know that they are loved and have the support and best wishes of the community.
