In addition to the "Support Squad" campaign, the Dacotah Bank Center is launching the "Think Pink Challenge" this October, encouraging Brookings’ businesses to designate a day each week as "Think Pink" day. On these days, employees are invited to proudly don their Tough Enough to Wear Pink t-shirts in a united display of support for the cause.

The funds raised through the 2023 Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign are channeled back into the local community. They provide awareness of crucial cancer screening benefits, including regular mammograms, amplify awareness about the significance of breast self-examination, and provide support to patients at Avera Medical Group Brookings and Brookings Health System.
Since its inception, the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign has raised over $68,873. This remarkable accomplishment has been made possible through the unwavering support of our community. The Dacotah Bank Center collaborates closely with the Brookings Health System Foundation to ensure these funds directly benefit numerous patients in Brookings County, with proceeds deeply rooted in the local community.
