A Heartfelt Thank

We recently had the honor of celebrating an incredible gift from the Savin Pairs By The Pint team to our Atrium Health Breast Health Center.

Through the 2025 Pink Glow Walk in Kannapolis, an outstanding $37,000 was raised to support our Breast Health Center — bringing their total giving to more than $90,000 since the Glow Walk began in 2022.

This generous support will have a lasting impact on patients in our community who are unable to afford lifesaving mammograms. Because of Linn, his dedicated team, and their incredible sponsors, more individuals will have access to essential breast health services and early detection resources. All funds raised by the Glow Walk team stay here in Cabarrus County, impacting our community while fighting Breast Cancer.

Please mark your calendar for the next Pink Glow Walk on October 10, 2026 — you won’t want to miss being part of this meaningful movement.

To Linn, your team, and every sponsor who made this possible — thank you. We are truly honored to partner with you in making a difference.
