A growing movement

Our Story

In 2003, Skyview volleyball matriarch Vicki Carle’s breast cancer diagnosis inspired a wave of action. What began in 2007 with volleyball players wearing pink for awareness has grown into Pack the Place in Pink, a statewide movement. Since becoming a non-profit in 2013, we’ve provided financial “Pink Hugs” to support breast cancer patients across Montana, showing them they are not alone.
