Lois Frankel, and Pink Boots on the Ground Chair Mami Kisner.

The event celebrates "the bridging of our communities giving equitable health care as community navigators show the way," Promise Fund said in a release. It also put the spotlight on the organization's progress of servicing 25,000 out of more than 80,000 uninsured/underinsured women in Palm Beach County.

The bridge will remain bathed in pink — the signature color of the fight against breast and cervical cancer — through January.
