Introducing The Hickory Pink Heals Tour

The Pink Heals Tour-Hickory is a collaborative community initiative to assist the "Cares Enough to Wear Pink" campaign in the effort to raise awareness and money for cancer patients through local non-profit organization.

100% of the profit raised through The Pink Heals Tour-Hickory will go to Through Healing Eyes. So your generous purchase or donation stays in the community to help those in need. 

With the support of those that protect and serve our community The Pink Heals Tour-Hickory is striving to helping men, women, and children of all ages with cancer and by promoting community awareness.

Last year’s proceeds from the Pink Heals Tour went to men, women, and children with all types of cancer through these organizations:

  • Strides to Recovery
  • Blue Ridge Cancer Center & Wig Bank
  • Frye Regional Medical Center Cancer Support Center
  • Gardens for Life
  • Catawba County Wig Bank
