We’ve been keeping busy here at the Pink office…

We might have gotten a little bit of rain (ok, a LOT of rain for about 30 minutes there) but the skies cleared and we had one of our most successful Tour de Pinks ever!

But let’s start at the beginning…

We thanked our generous and amazing underwriters at a lovely cocktail reception hosted by our presenting sponsor, BBVA Compass.

We worked furiously to get ready for packet pick-up, which was a very smooth success thanks to amazing volunteers!

We packed up the vans with food, water and gatorade to be delivered to the “Pink Pit Stops”….

Back to the bike ride.

We had a VERY early start on Sunday, and despite the gloomy forecast, we had fabulous riders, volunteers and sponsors who helped make this (dare we say?) the most fun Tour de Pink EVER.

A huge thank you to our fabulous riders, volunteers, sponsors, pit stops, and everyone else that made Tour de Pink such a great success. Help us get to our fundraising goal of $350,000 here!

Also, in honor of the 5th Anniversary of Tour de Pink, we created a Tour de Pink Commemorative Poster. For details, click here.
