MIAMI – The Museum of Graffiti will present THINK PINK at The Wynwood Gallery, a contemporary art show curated by Allison Freidin and Alan Ket, the founders of the Museum of Graffiti, to benefit Susan G Komen®. THINK PINK, taking place on Thursday October 22, 2026, will raise critical funds to accelerate lifesaving research, expand patient support services, support critical public policy efforts and help ensure every person facing breast cancer has access to the high-quality care they need.
Breast cancer continues to impact communities across the country. About every two minutes, someone in the U.S. hears the words, “You have breast cancer,” and nearly every 12 minutes, someone in the U.S. loses their life to the disease. Diagnoses among women under 50 are also increasing, underscoring the urgent need for continued action. While tremendous progress has been made in improving breast cancer outcomes, too many people still face delayed diagnoses, unequal access to high-quality care and barriers that can impact their ability to receive timely, lifesaving treatment. For some, today’s treatments won’t be enough, making continued research essential to discover the next lifesaving breakthrough. In 2026, an estimated 24,700 people in Florida will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 3,360 will lose their lives to the disease.
In FY 2026, more than 5 million people turned to Komen’s breast health and breast cancer information to make informed decisions about their health care. During the same period, Komen’s Patient Care Center provided 1,535 patient navigation services to 1,027 individuals across Florida, helping patients overcome financial, logistical, and systemic barriers that can delay or disrupt access to care. Through Komen’s Financial Assistance Program, 816 people in Florida undergoing breast cancer treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer received $403,100 in direct financial support to help address critical needs.
We have much to gain by increasing awareness and funding the fight against breast cancer in South Florida. Currently, Florida ranks 48th in the nation for breast cancer screening, leaving a significant number of women vulnerable to the disease due to limited access to early detection and healthcare services. Events like THINK PINK provide Susan G. Komen® with a valuable platform to amplify our message and enhance our ability to fulfill our mission. Education and awareness regarding breast cancer, will save lives in our community.
“We are so grateful for the love and support displayed by the founders and team at the Museum of Graffiti. As a local, there is a huge sense of pride in seeing one of my city’s most loved, and revered institutions support the fight versus breast cancer. The Museum of Graffiti continues to be a leader in our community, and I am excited about what we can do together in South Florida,” said Gil Zepeda, Development Manager for Susan G. Komen® in South Florida.
“The platform we’ve built is intended to be used to raise awareness for important issues our community faces, not just art, but we especially love the opportunity to leverage the work we do in art to benefit our strategic partners doing critical work for a better future” said Allison Freidin, co-founder of the Museum of Graffiti.
