October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Throughout October, beautiful pink hand-blown glass pumpkins will be available for purchase both in the museum gift shop and online. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will be donated to the Cape Cod Women's Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Fund (WED Fund) at Cape Cod Healthcare.
Yukimi's Gift
To support this worthy cause, the Museum is proud to be donating a special pink glass pumpkin created by artist Yukimi Matsumoto. Born in Osaka, Japan, Matsumoto trained in production design before completing an apprenticeship at Suwa Glass Studio in Nagano and establishing her professional career as a glass artist. Her approach to glassmaking is grounded in patience, collaboration, and respect for the material, reflecting her belief that glass must be guided rather than forced as its form and beauty emerge.
Selected as a meaningful symbol of breast cancer awareness, this distinctive piece will be presented to a breast cancer survivor on October 3rd in recognition of her strength, perseverance, and journey.Â
Purchase your pink pumpkin today and help us support health, hope, and resilience in our community!
