Don’t Forget About Women’s Issues after October

Saturday starts two important awareness months: domestic violence and breast cancer. We need to pay special attention to these issues because they impact far too many women (and men) we know and love.

 

 

While researchers have made great strides in providing cutting-edge treatments, the overall number of breast cancer diagnoses in the past 30 years has more than doubled from 641,000 to 1.64 million annually, according to a new global study.

Meanwhile, an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.   These numbers aren’t going to go away anytime soon without communities (and women) coming together to highlight the problems and solutions. 

The Pink Event will benefit...?

We are in the process of selecting our benefiting charities for our 2012 event! For our 2nd year we decided to involve our VIPs! Yep, you guessed it our Very Important Participants, supporters like you!

The Pink Event is a women-focused event (after all that is what the PINK in The Pink Event stands for, WOMEN). Therefore,
our event will benefit 2 charities that often support women (we like to call them women-focused charities).

About Our Blog (It's not just about The Pink Event)

So for our 2nd year we decide to create The Pink Event Blog.

This blog will not only be used to post about The Pink Event, but also to post about other areas of interest and importance to women. Here you will find information about women businesses, health info, organizations, events, accomplishments and much more.


The Pink Event is all about the ladies and we want our blog to be all about the ladies as well!

Onward with Pink Power!

The 2nd Annual "The Pink Event!"
