Pink Power blows away one- Planners for the Southwest Washington Medical Center’s Pink Power Strikes Again fundraiser were warily out to come up with $500,000 to complete a campaign to finance a $4 million Breast Care Center in the medical center’s Physicians’ Pavilion. To their delight they came up with an all-time record $815,000 from a single fundraising event in Clark County, in this instance, for the party they threw at Big Al’s Bowling Alley last Thursday. More than 650 people attended the event that included major support from Al and Sandee Kirkwood, owners of Big Al’s, First Independent, The Columbian and Jan and Steve Oliva. Designed specifically for women, the new Breast Care center will provide better access to the many services they need in an environment that is easily accessible and comforting, according to medical center officials.
