Pink Party Planning Idea - Arts & Crafts

Get the kids involved! Let's be honest, kids love getting dirty. Why not let them express themselves by setting up arts and crafts? Believe it or not, that was the basic concept of the very first PIAP Pink Party. Kim's kids invited some of their friends over. I picked up some snacks and we all sat around the dining room table doing arts and crafts.

You can do a lot with just a few supplies:

• Various color markers
• Foam Cutouts (available at Michael's or Hobby Lobby)
• Blank t-shirts
• Fabric Paint
• Breast Cancer Stickers (you can find those practically anywhere this month)
• Pink Pipe Cleaners
• Crayons or Colored Pencils
• Pink Cardstock Paper
• ...and most importantly, a plastic table cover

Have fun!

P is for Personal

It's officially breast cancer awareness month and, as I'm sure you've already seen, PINK is making its annual appearance all over the country. On cereal boxes, NFL uniforms, TV ads and the list goes on and on. So here's a question: where is it making an appearance in your life?

This year, in an effort to personalize PINK, P.I.A.P. is bringing back the original style Pink Party...just a group of our closest friends sharing our personal experiences with breast cancer and our thoughts on what we can do to prevent it. This month, members of the P.I.A.P. family from all over the country will host their very own Pink Party. Some will be having the event in their home while others will have it at a local restaurant. While their parties will be different, all of us will share in the same goal of raising awareness to the young women of color affected by this disease.

And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for...How can you take part in the fun? You guessed it...

THROW A PARTY!

In the days ahead, please visit our upcoming events page for useful tips, flyers, decor ideas and other updates on how to host your very own Pink Party. (Trust us, it's easier than planning your child's birthday pizza party.). Best of all, when you're done, share your experience and pictures with the world! As an added incentive, we'll be giving out prizes for the most unique party ideas, no matter how big or small.

So, are you willing to take the P.I.A.P. pledge?
