Pinkest Town in the West

       It was about a lot of folks in a terrific little community and in several communities who got behind a cause “ the fight to end cancer” and our win will only be a very small part in the fight but we proved that Trochu will always do their part and have a terrific time doing it. In August 2010 Trochu was honored to compete in the Wild Pink Yonder fight againist breast cancer.  Trochu blew the Wild Pink Yonder group away with funds raised (over $27, 000), our "pinkness" and exuberant community spirit.    

    HERE'S HOW WE DID IT!
