Pink Posse

The Pink Posse of Georgia, a local nonprofit that gives funds directly to families impacted by cancer, now has its funds with the Coweta Community Foundation.

The Pink Posse was founded in 2006 by Alice Ramsey of Brooks, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Then a flight attendant with Delta Air Lines, Ramsey said she quickly realized how much of a hit her paycheck took while getting treatment, and she soon decided it was time to help others facing such challenges following a cancer diagnosis. The Pink Posse doesn’t help with medical bills but instead focuses on a very practical need, electricity, helping with electric bills for up to three months.
