UVA Health team members and patients have two ways to vote by Thursday, Oct. 30 for their favorite entry in the 2025 Pumpkin Decorating Contest: on UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center Facebook, or on-site at UVA Health Care Cancer Pantops, 652 Peter Jefferson Parkway, Suite 310, Charlottesville, Virginia 22911. (Please do NOT vote in the Comments section below this Connect article — we are NOT tallying votes on this site.)

To commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, Pantops cancer and infusion care teams' creations are on display in the UVA Health Cancer Care Pantops waiting room. The votes from in-clinic and social media will be combined to determine the decorating team that will win the grand prize: a Bodo’s breakfast!

Enjoy this fun, spirited, in-office competition! UVA Health team members and patients can check out the beautifully decorated pumpkins below and vote on the UVA Comprehensive Cancer Center Facebook page — or see the entries on-site and vote at the UVA Health Care Cancer Pantops (NOT in the Comments section below this Connect article).
