“More than $65,000 has been raised to date for local breast cancer coalitions through our annual Think Pink campaign," said owner Michael Bohlsen. "The cause is close to our hearts as a family and as an employer. It also serves our customers well. The work these coalitions do at a local level is very helpful to those in the communities where we were born, raised, live and work."
