Umbrella organization
Think Pink Europe is an umbrella organzation, connecting more than 25 non-profit breast cancer organizations in Europe as one family. We provide training opportunities and share “practical knowledge” between these organizations, that can allow them to strengthen their operative capacities. We organize meetings to develop networking between them and create the opportunity to share best practices and implement them at a local level, for successful Think Pink Europe programs such as the “Race For The Cure”.
Think Pink Europe also generates innovative programs that can help to reduce the gaps and disparities among European countries in the access to quality breast cancer care. Next to that, we work on awarness campaigns in collaboration with our connected national breast cancer organizations and international partners.
To #closethegap and be #strongertogether we are constantly in contact with each other and get together as a group at least once a year.
2024 | ROME (Italy)
25 years of Race For The Cure® in Italy and Europe, was a great opportunity to meet again with the Think Pink Europe family. We came together to celebrate, inspire, learn, network, and discuss how we can continue working on making the Race For The Cure® a succes all over Europe.
Together, we also participated in the largest Race For The Cure® ever, with 150,000 participants!

We were very honored to work together with our president Nela Hasic at the Think Pink Center in Sarajevo in the last week of November 2023!

#RFTC2023 kicked off in Rome with a record edition of Race For The Cure!
Roughly 70 000 people came to Rome to take part in the 4 day long Race For The Cure event, with free medical check-ups and other health services for breast cancer patients, entertainment and off course a huge walk and run. Think Pink Europe was present to learn from our Italian friends and to enjoy this fantastic event.
2022 | TENERIFE (Spain)
A warm reunion after 2 Covid years. Also a first meeting for many organizations who joined the Think Pink Europe family in the last years.
We are finally talking about real Race For The Cure events again and even taking part in the “Walk For Life”, the Race For The Cure by our host Carrera Por La Vida.
2020-2021 | ONLINE
Covid-19 made it impossible for us to meet in real life for 2 years. We kept in touch online with the Think Pink Family and found a way to keep the Race For The Cure alive, digitally.
These were challanging times for all of us!

In 2019, we were invited to Bucharest by Fundatia Renasterea, the Romanian breast cancer organization directed by our Think Pink Europe president at the time.
2019 | ROME (Italy)
The first meeting with the Think Pink Europe family in 2019, took place in Rome, where we were invited by S.G.Komen Italia to celbrate the 20th anniversary of the Race For The Cure in Italy.
The event in Rome is not only the oldest Race For The Cure in Europe, but also the biggest race. It was a pleasure to experience this major event!
