Pink Ribbon Cleanup

Someone in the Chatham area who is being treated for breast cancer, or recovering from it, gets their whole yard cleaned up in October at no cost. Nominate them, or nominate yourself.

Nominations close September 30, 2026Work happens: October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Who it's for

Anyone in the Chatham area in treatment for or recovering from breast cancer. You don't have to be an existing customer of anyone.

What gets done

  • Mowing
  • Trimming
  • Garden bed tidy-up
  • Debris hauled away

How it works

  1. Nominate

    Tell us who they are and what they're facing. It takes a few minutes.
  2. We read every one

    Nominations are read privately. Nothing is posted.
  3. The crew comes out

    The chosen neighbour gets the full cleanup in October, free.
  4. Only if they want

    The story is shared publicly only if the person says yes.

Before you send it

  • The person you're nominating knows about it and is okay with being contacted.
  • What you write about their health stays private. We only share it with the crew doing the work.
  • One yard is chosen. We can't do every nomination, and we'll say so honestly.

Put someone's name forward

A nomination usually contains someone else's name, address and situation. We keep it inside Launch League and share it only with the crew doing the work. Nothing is published, and a story is only told if the person says yes.

So we know the yard we'd be coming to.

If you have it.

What's going on, and why this would matter. A few sentences is plenty.

Neighbour, daughter, friend, or yourself.

The work is done by Launch League volunteers — our own people, students and community volunteers. A nomination usually contains someone else's name, address and situation. We keep it inside Launch League and share it only with the crew doing the work. Nothing is published, and a story is only told if the person says yes.
