Umbrella organization
Think Pink Europe is an umbrella organzation, connecting more than 25 non-profit breast cancer organizations in Europe as one family. We provide training opportunities and share “practical knowledge” between these organizations, that can allow them to strengthen their operative capacities. We organize meetings to develop networking between them and create the opportunity to share best practices and implement them at a local level, for successful Think Pink Europe programs such as the “Race For The Cure”.
Think Pink Europe also generates innovative programs that can help to reduce the gaps and disparities among European countries in the access to quality breast cancer care. Next to that, we work on awarness campaigns in collaboration with our connected national breast cancer organizations and international partners.
To #closethegap and be #strongertogether we are constantly in contact with each other and get together as a group at least once a year.
2026 | SARAJEVO (Bosnia And Herzegovina)
In April 2026, the Think Pink Europe family came together in Sarajevo for our annual meeting, bringing partners from across Europe into one inspiring and collaborative environment. The gathering placed a strong emphasis on connection, networking, and the exchange of experiences between countries, reinforcing the strength of our international community.
Alongside the meeting, we organized a dedicated symposium focused on improving the quality of life for breast cancer patients. This created a valuable platform for sharing insights, best practices, and innovative approaches, all aimed at making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.
The combination of our annual meeting and the symposium made Sarajevo a truly impactful moment, further aligning our efforts to support those affected by breast cancer across Europe.
2025 | TENERIFE (Spain)
At the end of 2025, the Think Pink Europe board gathered in Tenerife for a meaningful and inspiring meeting. Surrounded by the island’s unique landscape, we reflected on our achievements, strengthened our collaboration, and shaped our future plans.
This special moment also gave us the opportunity to celebrate an important milestone: 20 years of Carrera Por La Vida | Walk for Life. For two decades, this event (part of Race For The Cure® Europe) has united communities, raised awareness, and supported the fight against breast cancer.
Combining our board meeting with this anniversary made the experience even more powerful. It reminded us of how far we’ve come, the impact we’ve created together, and the importance of continuing our mission across Europe with renewed energy and commitment.
2025 | ATHENS (Greece)
At Think Pink Europe, we unite organisations across the continent to make breast cancer care equally accessible for all. Through shared knowledge, coordinated actions, and powerful campaigns like Race for the Cure®, we support thousands of people affected by breast cancer every year.
In April 2025, our network gathered in Athens for the Think Pink Europe Annual Meeting 2025.
It was a moment to reconnect, reflect, and re-energise — and most importantly, to collaborate on the future of Race for the Cure®, our flagship event that brings together survivors, families, and communities in solidarity and support.
Together, we go further. Together, we race for impact.
2024 | BRUSSELS (Belgium)
Nela Hasic, President of Think Pink Europe, took the stage at the prestigious European Cancer Summit to share insights on the patient perspective in the Balkans, Geographical disparities in cancer care across Europe. She pointed out the risk that Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan could widen the gap for non-EU countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the potential of the EU4Health program to foster collaboration and ensure no one is left behind.
Equal healthcare in Europe, that is our mission.
2024 | ROME (Italy)
25 years of Race For The Cure® in Italy and Europe, was a great opportunity to meet again with the Think Pink Europe family. We came together to celebrate, inspire, learn, network, and discuss how we can continue working on making the Race For The Cure® a succes all over Europe.
Together, we also participated in the largest Race For The Cure® ever, with 150,000 participants!
2023 | SARAJEVO (Bosnia And Herzegovina)
We were very honored to work together with our president Nela Hasic at the Think Pink Center in Sarajevo in the last week of November 2023!
We look back at some very productive days, reflecting with our board and all the involved breast cancer organizations in Europe on Race For The Cure and our 'Closing The Gap' programs.
2023 | ROME (Italy)
#RFTC2023 kicked off in Rome with a record edition of Race For The Cure!
Roughly 70 000 people came to Rome to take part in the 4 day long Race For The Cure event, with free medical check-ups and other health services for breast cancer patients, entertainment and off course a huge walk and run. Think Pink Europe was present to learn from our Italian friends and to enjoy this fantastic event.
2022 | TENERIFE (Spain)
A warm reunion after 2 Covid years. Also a first meeting for many organizations who joined the Think Pink Europe family in the last years.
We are finally talking about real Race For The Cure events again and even taking part in the “Walk For Life”, the Race For The Cure by our host Carrera Por La Vida.
2020-2021 | ONLINE
Covid-19 made it impossible for us to meet in real life for 2 years. We kept in touch online with the Think Pink Family and found a way to keep the Race For The Cure alive, digitally.
These were challanging times for all of us!
2019 | BUCHAREST (Romania)
In 2019, we were invited to Bucharest by Fundatia Renasterea, the Romanian breast cancer organization directed by our Think Pink Europe president at the time.
2019 | ROME (Italy)
The first meeting with the Think Pink Europe family in 2019, took place in Rome, where we were invited by S.G.Komen Italia to celbrate the 20th anniversary of the Race For The Cure in Italy.
The event in Rome is not only the oldest Race For The Cure in Europe, but also the biggest race. It was a pleasure to experience this major event!
