From the Progress Center for the Performing Arts and the Shimmer Wall at the Raleigh Convention Center to the State Capitol and the Governor's Mansion, you'll notice pink lights, pink ribbons, pink menu items, pink lobbies, pink window displays, and even the Sir Walter Raleigh statue is wearing pink.

Go Pink for the Cure began Friday, June 5, with Komen NC Triangle hosting a stop on the downtown Raleigh First Friday Art Walk in The Fish Market/NC State College of Design gallery, located in the same building as the Komen office at 133 Fayetteville St.

They join more than 100,000 breast cancer survivors and activists around the globe as part of the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting breast cancer.
