SANTA YNEZ, CA – The Chumash Casino Resort has launched a Project Pink campaign to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds for a local non-profit organization by selling pink-colored sweets, snacks and drinks throughout the resort’s eateries.
Beginning October 1, the resort’s dedicated Food and Beverage Department will have meticulously crafted creations on display to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. A portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated, along with a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation, to the Breast Imaging Center at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, which is supported by the Foundation for Cottage Rehabilitation and Goleta Valley Cottage Hospitals.
“Our Project Pink campaign has become an annual tradition at the Chumash Casino Resort and wouldn’t be possible without the countless hours of dedication from our committed and talented Food and Beverage Department,” said Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. “The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians is proud to be able to raise these important funds for this year’s worthy beneficiary, the Breast Imaging Center at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, which is dedicated to this endeavor 365 days a year.”
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer risks and the value of screening and early detection, while also raising funds for cancer research.
“We are honored that the Breast Imaging Center at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital has been chosen as this year’s beneficiary of the Chumash Foundation’s 2024 Project Pink campaign,” said Katina Zaninovich, Chairperson for the Foundation for Cottage Rehabilitation and Goleta Valley Cottage Hospitals. “On behalf of the Foundation for Cottage Rehabilitation and Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital’s board of directors, I want to thank the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation for their dedication to supporting breast health and awareness across our community.”
