Paint Estes Pink raises money for the EPH Foundation.
Local businesses are key to the success of Paint Estes Pink By Kevin Mullin For the Trail-Gazette
s the Executive Director of EPH Foundation, I’ve been privy to the generosity of this community through individual, corporate, and foundation giving, and I’ve had the great fortune of observing how those funds directly impact the quality of health care available in the Estes Valley. Next month, EPHF’s biggest fundraiser of the year, Paint Estes Pink, takes place. Paint Estes Pink relies on local business participation to support Oncology Services at Estes Park Health. 100% of funds raised during Paint Estes Pink this year go

toward purchasing a new MRI machine at EPH. MRI is often used to diagnose certain forms of Mullin cancer, and the current MRI machine at EPH is 14 years old and near end of life. Business Competitions for Paint Estes Pink take place July 2-9. For the Top Fundraiser Competition, the Estes Park Mountain Bike Team will drop off donation jars to local businesses on July 2 and pick up July 9. Every business that participated in 2019 will automatically receive a collection jar. The business that collects the most cash in
collection jars and/or through online donations will win a plaque with their name engraved to display for a year. Please RSVP by June 28 at giving@eph.orgto participate. Businesses can also show support for cancer warriors everywhere by decorating their interior and exterior in pink. The Best Decorated Business wins an engraved plaque to display for the year, and judges stop by on July 8-9. Please RSVP by July 1 at giving@eph.org to participate. The winners of both business competitions as well as the 2021 Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo winner are announced during Pink Night at the Rooftop Rodeo on July 10. To learn
