About Tickled Pink
  • Our Mission

    Tickled Pink is an annual fundraiser supporting women and fostering hope, resilience, and impact through partnerships driving positive change.

     

    For two decades, Tickled Pink has been a tradition of hope and resilience, uniting our community to make a meaningful difference. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2025, we’re elevating our mission to new heights. While our commitment to uplifting those facing challenges remains steadfast, we’re expanding our focus to address diverse issues women face across our community today.

     

    This year marks an exciting new partnership with the Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW), a trailblazer since 1985 in driving systemic change. CFW prioritizes three critical areas: economic security, freedom from violence, and access to health services. Every dollar raised through Tickled Pink will empower women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals in the Chicago region. Supporting CFW isn’t just giving back–it’s fueling transformative change that uplifts entire communities. Giving back glows brightest when we come together to make a difference in our communities.

  • Our Story

    Since our first event in February 2005, we have raised over $2.3 million for organizations dedicated to cancer prevention, support, and services.

     

    In February 2004, the world lost a vibrant soul when Carrie Kenney succumbed to her seven-year battle with breast cancer at the tender age of 35. Determined to immortalize Carrie’s vivacity, her cousin Jodi Fyfe took the initiative a year later to rally a close-knit group of friends and colleagues. Thus, Tickled Pink Chicago was born, a heartfelt tribute to a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27, and a commitment to preserving Carrie’s fun-loving spirit and legacy beyond the realms of grief.

     

    Tickled Pink Chicago has evolved into more than just an annual event; it has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and community support in the heart of Chicago. Founded in 2005 by Jodi Fyfe as a tribute to her late cousin, the event has grown exponentially, leaving an indelible mark on the fight against cancer. Over the years, Tickled Pink has raised over two million dollars, emerging as a formidable force of good. This remarkable success underscores the community’s commitment to making a tangible impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. As we reflect on our journey, we take pride in the significant milestones achieved and look forward to continuing our mission of providing support, spreading awareness, and fostering a sense of unity in the face of adversity.
