"We shared our stories of those diagnosed and treated, and I'm sure as we went home the day of our taping, some of us felt a bit of sadness that we had lost someone we cherished. For those of us who were able to participate, the honor will never be forgotten. For our loved ones and friends who lost their battle with breast cancer, we danced in their memory."

The video is listed on the Pink Glove Dance site as ABHOW-Plymouth Village. ABHOW stands for American Baptist Homes of the West, the name of the corporation that manages Plymouth Village, which bills itself as nonprofit and non-sectarian.
