Pink Pumpkins for a Purpose Returns to Bismarck for 2026

Pink Pumpkin for a Purpose is back for the 2026 Fall season. This Halloween, we want you to paint your pumpkins PINK for a good cause.

Pink Pumpkins for a Purpose

Almost every person in Bismarck, Mandan, and the surrounding areas has been touched by cancer, and we're asking you to help local families who are fighting the battle.

We've teamed up with Jump Works, Clothes Mentor, Puklich Chevrolet, and the Bismarck Cancer Center to bring back "Pink Pumpkins for a Purpose" for its third year.

The goal is to help raise money for the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation. The Cancer Center Foundation provides treatments and support to locals, easing the burden and stress of cancer patients and their families.

Last year, thanks to you, we donated $500 to the cause. This year, we'd like to raise a whole lot more.

How To Help

When you visit the store or pumpkin patch to pick up your pumpkins for carving and decorating for Halloween, don't forget to grab some pink paint or pink decorations - anything pink will count. For every Pink Pumpkin picture uploaded to the Hot 97.5 app, we will donate $1 to the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation, up to a total of $ 750.

Join us in helping those affected by breast cancer this October with this fun twist on a Halloween tradition many of us already plan on doing.

Help us and our sponsors show everyone in our area as much support and love as possible by painting our pumpkins pink.
