CUERO, TX — Every Friday morning in October, the Cuero Regional Hospital Café is flipping more than just pancakes—they’re flipping the script on how a small-town breakfast can fuel a big message.
From 7:00 to 9:00 AM, the café is hosting its “Think Pink, Eat Pancakes!” fundraiser in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For just $4.49, patrons can enjoy a plate of two fluffy pink pancakes crowned with whipped cream and sprinkles, served alongside two slices of crispy bacon and a complimentary cup of coffee.
Hospital staff say the event is designed to bring the community together around a shared cause while offering a cheerful start to the day. “It’s about more than breakfast,” said a spokesperson for the hospital. “It’s about visibility, solidarity, and reminding folks that early detection saves lives.”
The pink pancakes are more than a novelty—they’re a symbol. Each bite serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against breast cancer and the importance of regular screenings, education, and support for those affected.
Local residents have already begun marking their calendars, with many planning to attend in honor of loved ones. The café expects a strong turnout from hospital staff, patients, and community members alike.
Whether you’re stopping by before work or making it a family outing, the message is clear: come hungry, leave happy, and show your support—one pink pancake at a time.
