CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Charlotte Radiology today announces their 9th Annual Pink Pint Night on September 24th benefiting Levine Cancer Institute: Project PINK. This year's Pink Pint Night (PPN) Virtual Edition will raise funds to provide over 1,000 low-income, uninsured women in the greater Charlotte community with access to screening mammograms and related breast services. In partnership with NoDa Brewing Company, Pink Pint Night Virtual Edition will include community education about the impact of LCI: Project Pink as well as a guided NoDa Brewing Company craft beer 'flight tasting', a feature band, and online auction.
"Each year, Pink Pint Night is a highly anticipated event that brings our Charlotte community together for a great cause. While we'll miss seeing our friends, neighbors, and supporters in person this year, we remain committed to our fight against breast cancer and providing essential screening services to Charlotte communities in need," said Charlotte Radiology Chief Executive Officer Lindsay Muns. "One hundred percent of the money raised at Pink Pint Night directly impacts local uninsured women, providing free screening mammograms and saving lives through early detection."
Project Pink Addresses Health Disparities in Our Community
Breast cancer does not stop for pandemics and the need for funding this year is more important than ever, as many state and local resources for essential health screening programs have been reprioritized to help with the COVID-19 response. Project Pink serves the same at-risk populations impacted by coronavirus at a time of critical need.
"We know that many people have concerns about visiting healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. But it is essential that women make appointments for vital health screenings because early detection saves lives," said Dr. Amy Sobel, Section Head for Charlotte Radiology's Breast Services. "Women served by LCI: Project Pink will experience the same high quality, safe, and caring environments for their breast services whether seen in one of our breast centers or during a mobile screening event. We encourage all women to seek out screening mammography because it could save
their life."

About NoDa Brewing Company Opening its tap room doors in 2011, NoDa became one of Charlotte's first craft breweries. Three short years later, Hop Drop 'N Roll — their most popular IPA — took home the World Beer Cup Gold Award in the competition's largest category. This recognition propelled the brewery onto a national stage, and attributed to the quick expansion from a 15-barrel brewhouse in the NoDa neighborhood to a 60 barrel brewhouse in nearby North End. Today, NoDa Brewing Company continues to brew award-winning beers, stand as a pillar of creativity and connection in the community, and add to the state's thriving craft beer economy.
