‘Project Pink’ Brightens Downtown New Canaan for Breast Cancer Awareness [Q&A]
|
Downtown New Canaan has been decorated in pink, as a local awareness campaign gets underway for its third year to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds for a good cause. Conceived and launched by town resident Julie Stein, “Project Pink New Canaan” sees sponsored pink ribbons and tags with personal dedications affixed to lampposts throughout the downtown area.
We put some questions to Stein as the third annual Project Pink gets up and running. Here’s our exchange. ***
New Canaanite: What is Project Pink New Canaan? Julie Stein: I launched in October 2023, as a breast cancer survivor and advocate for raising awareness and funding for early research towards a cure.
