FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – It’s that time of year, and the Pink Army 2025 is pulling out all the stops to make this year the biggest and best of them all.
Kicking off a month and half of fundraising events hosted by a number of community organizations and businesses to help qualified patients receive breast cancer diagnostic screening and support through the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation, the fanfare started on Monday, September 15 with a proclamation from the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners, and a commemorative photo with the county’s pink firetruck in front of the Flagler County Government Services Building.
Alongside the commissioners gathering to show support, leadership of AdventHealth Palm Coast and the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation stood shoulder to shoulder with this year’s survivor champion Regan Hansen, who recently completed her treatment for breast cancer at the Freytag Cancer Center on the AdventHealth Palm Coast main campus.
It was an especially moving moment during the county commission meeting as the proclamation was presented by Flagler County Commissioner Greg Hansen, Regan’s father, who shared that both Regan and his wife Linda, are breast cancer survivors.
The awareness campaign continues through the month of October with proclamations from the area’s municipalities in addition to fundraising activities with momentum building for the annual Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Pet Friendly Walk on October 5, 2025, hosted by AdventHealth Palm Coast in conjunction with the City of Palm Coast.
“It’s great to run a community event where the community comes out not only for the fun activities we have but to raise money for a common cause that we’ve all gotten touched over the years,” said AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation Director John Subers.
“Regan Hansen, what a trooper this lady is and what she has gone through. To be our official starter for the event is inspiring. Her attitude of don’t quit, keep going, I think we can all learn from it,” he said.
“Not only is she the official starter but she’ll be the first to walk through our cancer survivor line and ring the bell.”
