HHM is Presenting Sponsor for Pink! 2024
CHI Memorial Foundation is excited to announce HHM CPAs as
the presenting sponsor for its annual Pink! gala on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
“We have several employees who are very involved with CHI Memorial and the
MaryEllen Locher Breast Center, and we're honored to be the Pink! 2024 presenting
sponsor,” said Donnie Hutcherson, HHM managing partner. “Social responsibility is at
the heart of our firm's culture and has been since 1981 when we first opened our doors.”
All money raised through the signature black-tie event stays in the community to
ensure the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial has the latest technology
available and provides the highest quality care available to women in need. Funds are
also used to provide college scholarships to children who have had a parent experience
breast cancer.
“The power of community engagement and education cannot be overstated in the fight
against this disease,” said Brittany Carman, HHM partner and Pink! 2024 co-chair. “As
individuals, we may only be able to do so much, but as a collective, we have the power
to make a real and lasting impact. As the presenting sponsor of Pink!, we at HHM are
dedicated to helping CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center achieve
their mission of helping people in our community receive access to early detection and
life-saving education that will make an impact that extends far beyond the event itself.”
“We are thrilled to welcome HHM as our presenting sponsor,” said Jennifer Nicely, CHI
Memorial Foundation president. “The firm has a long history of supporting the
community and many of its employees have been involved with the Foundation and the
MaryEllen Locher Breast Center in a variety of roles. We are happy to partner with
them to help make this gala the most successful to date.”
The Pink! gala is sold out, but the community can still help raise awareness and money.
The annual Color Chattanooga Pink! will be January 20-27, 2024. During this week,
businesses, organizations, retail stores, and restaurants will show support for the
MaryEllen Locher Breast Center by wearing pink, creating unique displays, and selling
specialty items. The entire Greater Chattanooga community is invited to participate and
help Color Chattanooga Pink!
Community members can also support the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center through the
online Pink! auction, which will open January 20, 2024. The link will be posted online at
SupportMemorialFoundation.org. Donations can also be made by texting ‘gopink’ to
243725.
The annual Pink! gala has raised more than $5.6 million in the past 18 years for the
MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial.
