Another success! Thank you to all who came out and supported our Third Annual Pink Party this past Saturday at Eastern Market in DC! We're also eternally grateful for those of you who supported by buying raffle tickets, making general donations, or otherwise offering your support for our efforts. Again - thank you thank you!
This year's Pink Party featured a number of free (our favorite price) fitness/exercise classes: Zumba, Yoga and Tai Chi.
Aziza Wellness demonstrated how to make a yummy & healthy kale salad (we love two-for-ones too).
Our raffle winners were pretty darn excited about their prizes, and who wouldn't be? We sold a bunch of tickets at the Party, and one young passerby won the AMEX $150 giftcard. Talk about a big win!
We were visited by our corporate sponsor, CVS Pharmacy, and their generous donations and support, in addition to other Breast Cancer Organizations in the DC Metro Area. We'd like to send a special thank you to F.O.R.C.E. (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) for their continued support of P.I.A.P. and our mission to educate - early.
While the Pink Party is a celebration, an interactive and lively health and wellness fair geared toward the whole family, it happens alongside a rather sobering statistic: women of color are 34% more likely to lose their life to breast cancer than their caucasion counterparts. That puts our collective efforts into sharp perspective: this work is needed. So yes, ladies and gentlemen, we WILL be back next year, and we hope to see our extended family grow tenfold (footfall stadium status)!
Can't wait until next October to be a part of the P.I.A.P. action? No need, we have another big upcoming events for your pleasure:
Family Support Day
April 2011
We will keep at this until we are no longer needed. Until then, we fight.
Toward a cure...
P.I.A.P.
