Naeve Health Care Foundation’s Project Pink Gala, held Sept. 25 at Wedgewood Cove in Albert Lea, raised $54,756 to help Albert Lea Medical Center purchase state-of-the-art full-field digital mammography equipment, considered the latest technology in breast cancer prevention and treatment. NHCF not only donated half of the funds for the equipment, but challenged the community to match their donation through gifts to Project Pink and gala attendance. Over 230 community members attended the gala. Pictured are Project Pink’s survivors, from left: Kimberly Zent, K Adamec, Mary Nelson, Arlene Murray, Ella Nelson, Dorothy Justesen, Anita Kes, Linda Anderson, Lorna Berg, and Peggy Brech. -- Submitted photo
