The Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, located in Santa Barbara and Solvang, focuses on being a regional destination for oncology services that ranks among the best major treatment centers, ensuring they deliver superior care to their patients, close to home, regardless of the means to pay.

With the support of the Chumash Casino Resort, Ridley-Tree Cancer Center looks forward to advancing breast cancer research and treatment, while improving survival and quality of life for thousands of patients.' Project Pink is a perfect example of what it looks like when a community wraps around the needs of its people, caring for them in their time of greatest need. 'We are genuinely honored and grateful to be the recipients of the Chumash Casino Resort's Project Pink campaign,” shares Matt Baumann, DBA, MBA, Vice President of Oncology, Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. “The proceeds from this critical fundraising campaign will be used to directly care for our community's breast cancer patients by supporting vital clinical trials, access and integrative care programs at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center. These standouts will join the resort’s familiar Project Pink lineup of the popular chocolate molds of high heel shoes, flat shoes, purses and more. Some of this year’s featured Project Pink menu items that will be on display on October 1 in the resort’s Grains & Grounds dessert case will be: “The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians is proud to again be able to raise much-needed funds for Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, which is dedicated to the health and well-being of our community.” “Every October, our Food and Beverage Department steps up for this worthy cause, devoting countless hours into making our annual Project Pink campaign a success,” Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians said.

For the second year in a row, a portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated, along with a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation, to the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, which is supported by the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara. The resort’s dedicated Food and Beverage Department will have its delicious, meticulously crafted creations on display to raise both awareness and funds for breast cancer research. To bring focus on Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Chumash Casino Resort, located in Santa Ynez, California, will launch its annual Project Pink campaign on Sunday, October 1, 2023, to raise funds for a local nonprofit organization by selling pink-colored sweets, snacks and drinks throughout its eateries.
