HHM is Presenting Sponsor for Pink! 2026

CHI Memorial Foundation is excited to announce HHM CPAs as the presenting sponsor of its annual Pink! gala for the third consecutive year.  The 2026 gala will be Saturday, January 31, 2026 at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

”HHM has supported CHI Memorial and the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center for decades, and being the presenting sponsor again this year reflects who we are as a firm,” said Donnie Hutcherson, HHM CPAs Managing Partner.  “Serving and giving back to Chattanooga has been part of our DNA since 1981, and this partnership is one way we can help create a healthier future for the people who call this region home.”

All money raised through the signature black-tie event stays in the community to ensure the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center at CHI Memorial has the latest technology available and provides the highest quality care available to women in need. Funds are also used to provide college scholarships to children who have had a parent who has experienced breast cancer.

”As a breast cancer survivor myself, Pink holds a personal meaning for me,” said Beverly Edge, HHM CPAs COO.  “It brings our community together in such a powerful way to celebrate hope, raise awareness, and fund care that saves lives.  HHM is honored to help carry that mission forward.”

“HHM CPAs' continued support as our Pink gala presenting sponsor is invaluable. Their partnership allows us to significantly expand our reach and impact in the fight against breast cancer,” said Jennifer Nicely, CHI Memorial Foundation president.  “What makes this relationship so special is the shared values we hold – a commitment to community, a dedication to service, and a passion for making a difference.  We are honored to work alongside HHM and their dedicated employees, who have been instrumental in the success of Pink."
