Lets Pink November 4, 2011

Lets Pink will be held at the Hickory Hill Community Center from 6-9 pm on November 4, 2011 and open to the public with an admissions fee of $10. Staying true to its artistic roots, the event will display various photos and paintings created by photographers and painters throughout the area. The images they choose to create are those that express the feelings and emotions they feel when they think of Breast Cancer, the importance of becoming aware and the beauty of life. Each artist will be a vendor at the event and will also display works from their personal collections outside of Breast Cancer Awareness. Alongside these amazing artists there will be a variety of other vendors from health and fitness, beauty and fashion to comfort and warm.

Also staying true to making people aware of breast cancer and its life changing effects, there will be two speakers at the event. They will be able to speak about their journey in dealing with breast cancer and how it has affected them. These speakers will allow us all to experience firsthand how important breast cancer is and how we can be proactive against the disease. There will also be an information table set up so that people are able to take home brochures and pamphlets to read over and become even more knowledgeable. It will also contain information on how people can donate and/or get involved.

As the event continues there will be a presentation by SLAM, Richmond’s youth poet team. Our SLAM participants’ will be performing pieces created for this event in particular which will depict their feelings towards the disease and the beauty of life despite its challenges. There will also be raffles throughout the night, light music and light refreshments. We want people to mingle, learn and truly walk away enlightened while having a great time. Who said learning couldn’t be enjoyable?
Lets Pink is dedicated to merging the generations and with your help we know it can be done. If you are considering being a sponsor and/or vendor at this event there are several ways to get involved. Whether it be a donation, volunteering, attending and event or having an event of your own, it all makes a difference and is truly appreciated. So again thank you for joining us at the Lets Pink, an initiative to support Breast Cancer Awareness event November 4, 2011. We look forward to seeing you there!
