Pink Out Mahoning Valley kicks off 2025 season
AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — A local nonprofit is using the power of music to help cancer patients.
Thursday evening at JRz Pub in Austintown, Pink Out Mahoning Valley kicked off its 2025 season. People got a chance to jump on stage and sing as part of the organization's first fundraiser as an official 501(c)3. There was also a raffle and gift baskets to win.
Money raised goes toward the Pink Out Mahoning Valley Music Festival in October. It's a time for those affected by cancer to enjoy free music and find support while kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
'It's just fulfilling, it's just wonderful. Everyone who has been part of it, whether it's performing, helping to organize or promoting it, it's just like — wow. When it's done, it's just like that was an amazing event. Every year I've asked, 'Do you want to do it again?' — because it was a lot of work — and they're like, 'Oh yeah,'' said Jenah Shank.
The third annual Pink Out Music Mahoning Valley is Sunday, Oct. 5. It'll start around noon at Austintown Township Park on Kirk Road.
