The challenge was for each business or organization to create its own fundraiser within its staff and raise money to be donated to the ACS through the Relay for Life of Logan County. Several took the challenge and since the first of October, LDN has run several photos of fundraisers held for the pink challenge. Among those participating was Eaton Corporation in Lincoln. The group went all out, holding a number of activities throughout the month, some for money and some to just raise awareness. Among the fun events they held was a random photo collection that was on display at the factory showing various staff dressed in their pink shirts.

The special designed pink shirt that read on the back “powered by pink” was sold to the employees with the profits from the shirts going into the kitty for ACS.
