October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this month we’re turning the fountain pink to help raise awareness and show our support for those affected by breast cancer.
Like so many families, mine has been touched by breast cancer. My mom experienced breast cancer, and I know firsthand how difficult and frightening a diagnosis can be for a family.
I was also glad to have Patrick Carney, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association, join us with some delicious strawberry milkshakes as we turned the fountain pink and brought the community together for this important cause.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. But when detected at its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is more than 90%.
This October, I encourage the important women in your life to schedule their mammogram and take charge of their health. Early detection can save a life.
Let’s turn the fountain pink, spread the word and stand together in the fight against breast cancer. 💗

As Hunger Action Month comes to a close, I was proud to join Rep. Emily Kinkead and hunger advocates at the Capitol Hunger Garden to highlight the importance of fighting food insecurity across Pennsylvania.
In its 16th season, the garden has provided more than 800 pounds of fresh produce to Downtown Daily Bread.
I’m grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated and continues to support our local food banks and pantries. Fighting hunger takes all of us working together — and the work continues beyond September. 🌱🥫
