El Paso, TX – The University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) is preparing to welcome the community for its yearly Power of Pink celebration on Friday, September 25 at 2 p.m. in the hospital’s main lobby. The event, organized by the Power of Pink Community Committee, shines a spotlight on the courage and perseverance of women in the region who have faced breast cancer.
Celebrating Survivors and Raising Awareness
Power of Pink is more than a gathering; it is a tribute to survivors from participating hospitals across the city. Each year the committee arranges professional makeovers for the honorees and captures their stories in a series of photographs. Those images, along with personal words of encouragement, will be displayed at UMC on the day of the event, offering a visual testament to resilience and hope.

The gathering is open to the public, inviting family members, friends and neighbors to share in the celebration. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the survivors, view the photo exhibit, and learn more about breast‑cancer awareness as the community moves toward October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Community Impact
By highlighting personal stories and offering a supportive environment, Power of Pink reinforces the importance of early detection, regular screenings and ongoing research. The event also underscores the role of local hospitals and nonprofit groups in providing resources and emotional support to those navigating diagnosis and treatment.
“Seeing these women stand proudly after their journeys reminds us all of the strength that exists in our community,” said a representative from the Power of Pink Community Committee. “We hope the makeovers and photo showcase inspire others to get screened and to support one another.”
Looking Ahead
As October approaches, UMC and its partners will continue to promote breast‑cancer education through outreach programs, free screening clinics and informational workshops. The Power of Pink event serves as a catalyst for these efforts, encouraging El Paso residents to take proactive steps for their health.
