Center for Emotional Wellness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Tough Enough to Wear Pink Month—a time to recognize the strength and courage of those affected by cancer, celebrate the survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand beside the families walking this journey. 💗

Through our Tough Enough to Wear Pink program, we have the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families impacted by cancer, offering emotional support, connection, and a safe place to turn during the more challenging days.

We all have seasons in life when a difficult journey can be made a little lighter because we’re not walking it alone. 💕

This is a great Farmer’s market! We are so thankful for the support Keller Fire Fighters Association has shown us over the years!

Saturday, Oct. 10 will be “Pink Out the Market Day”!

We will be at Keller Farmers Market selling shirts for breast cancer awareness from 8am until Noon. All proceeds will go to Center for Emotional Wellness.

Come say hi and help us support a great cause!
