At Olsman MacKenzie Peacock, we believe in standing with those facing life’s toughest challenges—and we’re proud to be a sponsor of the Shades of Pink Foundation (SOPF), an organization that shares our deep commitment to supporting people when they need it most.
Shades of Pink Foundation began in 2005, inspired by a heartfelt conversation between a breast cancer surgeon, her patient, and a friend. The patient was overwhelmed—not only by her diagnosis and treatment—but by the financial strain that threatened her family’s stability. Fearing the possibility of losing her home, she voiced a concern that would become the catalyst for a powerful mission: helping breast cancer patients navigate the everyday financial burdens that come with treatment.
That single conversation became the foundation of SOPF’s work: to reduce financial stress for breast cancer patients in Southeast Michigan by providing timely support for essential living expenses. Mortgage payments, rent, utilities, transportation, childcare—these costs don’t stop for cancer, and SOPF steps in to help patients focus on healing, not bills.
Their signature event, the Walk at the Zoo, has become a beautiful and uplifting tradition. Each year, more than 1,000 survivors, families, friends, and caregivers come together for an emotional and joy-filled day at the Detroit Zoo, walking in support of the mission and the people SOPF serves.
Thanks to dedicated leadership, strategic growth, and strong community partnerships, SOPF has now provided over $3.2 million in financial assistance to more than 1,600 individuals across nine counties in Southeast Michigan. Their impact is real, direct, and deeply meaningful—and Olsman MacKenzie Peacock is honored to play a small part in helping them carry it forward.
We are inspired by SOPF’s vision: That no one will experience financial stress as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis.
