HHM CPAs is Presenting Sponsor for Pink! 2024

HHM CPAs is proud to be the presenting sponsor for CHI Memorial Foundation's annual Pink! gala on Saturday, January 27, 2024.

“We have several employees who are very involved with CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center, and we're honored to be the Pink! 2024 presenting sponsor,” said Donnie Hutcherson, HHM CPAs managing partner.  “Social responsibility is at the heart of our firm's culture and has been since 1981 when we first opened our doors.”

All money raised through the signature black-tie event stays in the community to ensure the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial has the latest technology available and provides the highest quality care available to women in need. Funds are also used to provide college scholarships to children who have had a parent experience breast cancer.

“The power of community engagement and education cannot be overstated in the fight against this disease,” said Brittany Carman, HHM partner and Pink! 2024 co-chair.  “As individuals, we may only be able to do so much, but as a collective, we have the power to make a real and lasting impact.  As the presenting sponsor of Pink!, we at HHM are dedicated to helping CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center achieve their mission of helping people in our community receive access to early detection and life-saving education that will make an impact that extends far beyond the event itself.”

“We are thrilled to welcome HHM as our presenting sponsor,” said Jennifer Nicely, CHI Memorial Foundation president.  “The firm has a long history of supporting the community and many of its employees have been involved with the Foundation and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center in a variety of roles.  We are happy to partner with them to help make this gala the most successful to date.”

The Pink! gala is sold out, but the community can still help raise awareness and money.  The annual Color Chattanooga Pink! will be January 20-27, 2024.  During this week, businesses, organizations, retail stores, and restaurants will show support for the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center by wearing pink, creating unique displays, and selling specialty items. The entire Greater Chattanooga community is invited to participate and help Color Chattanooga Pink!

Community members can also support the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center through the online Pink! auction, which will open January 20, 2024. The link will be posted online at SupportMemorialFoundation.org.  Donations can also be made by texting ‘gopink’ to 243725.

The annual Pink! gala has raised more than $5.6 million in the past 18 years for the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial.
