Taylorville and surrounding communities will have the chance to show their support in the fight against Breast Cancer during this year’s “Paint the Square Pink” event on Saturday, October 18th, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The community fundraiser, held at Legendary Small Town Trading Co., at 123 S. Washington St. in Taylorville, will benefit the local “Cups for a Cure” program and help raise funds for the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Mammography Patient Assistance Program. This event is intended to serve as a laid-back function to support women in our community with access to live-saving screenings at little to no cost.

For a $25 donation, attendees will receive a hand-painted wine glass featuring a special logo and can enjoy their choice of wine, cocktail, or mocktail while socializing and painting together. Donations may be made by cash or check, with all proceeds staying in the Taylorville community to assist uninsured and underinsured patients with the cost of mammograms.

The afternoon event serves as both a fundraiser and a reminder of the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer. Organizers hope the gathering moves residents to come together in support of friends, neighbors, and loved ones affected by the disease, all while enjoying a relaxed, uplifting atmosphere on the Taylorville Square.
