organization that helps fight against breast cancer. It donates to local hospitals such as Yale's Smilow Cancer Institute and Hewitt's Breast Cancer center at Griffin Hospital. One day in the month of October is "Seymour Pink Day" where the whole town unites and wears pink in hopes of raising money. Seymour High School's sports teams also participate in the fight against breast cancer. In June 2017, the organization worked with the town's First Selectman Kurt Miller and the town's garbage and recycling company, Winter Bros., to create bright pink recycling bins. Residents could buy a pink bin to use instead of the traditional blue recycling bins and proceeds were donated to Seymour Pink. As of 2017, the organization has raised over $1 million. The funds are used to assist those who are having trouble meeting financial commitments while undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
