From the checkout aisles at Fareway, to the sidelines of Vinton-Shellsburg football games to the center court of Vikettte volleyball games to the window of Nature's Corner flower shop to area schools and churches and countless other place, area residents showed their support of breast cancer survivors with a large month-long display of pink.

The celebration wrapped up on Tuesday as the survivors received donations from Fareway, where about 20 employees paid $5 each to wear pink on Oct. 31; and Nature's Corner, where the "Bling a Bra" contest raised nearly $300.

At Tuesday's Breast Cancer Survivors meeting, $290.09 was donated from natures corner for the "Bling a Bra" contest, and $155.00 was donated from employees at Fareway for pink day. The breast cancer survivors group meets once a month at Windsor manor.
