On a beautiful Friday evening, October 4, 2024, the Martin Luther King International Chapel at Morehouse College was transformed into a sea of pink for the annual Pink Frog Gala. The room buzzed with anticipation and warmth as breast cancer survivors, supporters, and community advocates gathered to celebrate life, strength, and hope. For many, this night was more than just an event—it was a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of unity in the face of adversity.

 Founded by Tammy L. Bolton, a breast cancer survivor, and her husband, Robert H. Bolton, the Pink Frog Foundation, Inc. has become a lifeline for countless women and men battling breast cancer. Their organization provides essential services like meal preparation, emotional support, and transportation assistance to breast cancer patients undergoing treatment. The foundation’s goal is to ease the burdens of these patients and to offer a network of support and compassion during some of life’s most challenging moments.

 The gala featured an evening of performances celebrating life and resilience, with music, poetry, and dance taking center stage. A highlight of the evening was a powerful performance by renowned gospel artist Ricky Dillard, whose soulful voice moved the audience and set a tone of inspiration and faith. The event also paid tribute to Sharmen May Gowens, the Immediate Past President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Atlanta. She was honored for her unwavering support of the cause.

 The VIP reception prior to the main event was a sophisticated affair. Light bites were served as guests mingled in an ambiance filled with shades of pink, symbolizing both the cause and the spirit of hope. Mrs. Gowens was recognized for her impactful work in the community, and her words of gratitude underscored the significance of the evening.

 As Tammy and Robert Bolton remain committed to their mission through the Pink Frog Foundation, this year’s gala was a heartfelt reminder of the strength that comes from unity, compassion, and community support. The evening highlighted the power of coming together for a cause greater than ourselves, with each step forward bringing us closer to a future where breast cancer no longer poses a threat. Through their unwavering dedication, hope continues to flourish, and the vision of a world free from breast cancer feels more attainable with every effort.
