Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff is pleased to recognize the bank’s returning role as a sponsor for the 12th Annual Pink Out Picnic. The time-honored event was held at Sanibel Fire and Rescue District’s Station 171. Attended by cancer survivors and other guests honoring their wellness journeys, the Pink Out Picnic is one of three events held in October by the San Cap Pink Project.
“It’s our honor to play a role in presenting this important community event,” said Roepstorff. “We salute the Pink Project’s founder and cancer survivor Mary Bondurant. Through Mary’s vision and enthusiasm, the Pink Out events have grown over the years to raise cancer awareness and support island residents and employees challenged by this disease.”
Bank of the Islands signed on as the Fire Station Drink Station Sponsor for the 12th Annual Pink Out Picnic. Bank of the Islands’ David Lowden and Susan Schulte manned the drink station and were present to join in the festivities which included lunch, live music, a photo booth, and other opportunities to visit with neighbors and friends.”
“This was such a great community gathering,” said Lowden. “If you missed it, please consider attending the Pink Tea Party on February 12 at the Sundial Beach Resort.”
All funds raised at the Pink Out events support uninsured and underinsured community members with breast cancer-related financial needs.
