Bradford Research Center teamed with Alisha's Pink Pumpkin Painting Party Saturday, Oct. 15, to raise funds for the University of Missouri Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. Bradford grew pink pumpkins for attendees to decorate for a suggested $10 donation. This was the 10th straight October Alisha Moreland has hosted decorating parties across mid-Missouri. Not only do the events raise money for the mammogram fund, they are designed to remind women to schedule a mammogram.
