You Have to See What These Ladies Did for Their Friend with Breast Cancer!

Anything for love ... from Albert Bredenhann on Vimeo.

We're closing out March and the last few weeks of National Women's History month. And The Pink Event staff is pretty sure the women in this video will always be remembered by their friend who has breast cancer. 

According to the video above, "In February 2014, one of Gerdi McKenna's friends wrote an email requesting a photoshoot for all her friends as [Gerdi] was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before...and this is what happened."

You have to see it to believe how amazing women with purpose can be! And check out the local breast cancer charities that The Pink Event has supported. 

RECAP: The Pink Event® 2014 Breaks Records!

Attendees enjoy the ultimate girls' day out! 

The Pink Event^® 2014 last Sunday broke records when it turned the atrium and ballrooms of the DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia, Md., into the “ultimate girls’ day out.”

With more than 260 attendees and 50 women-focused exhibitors—who sold everything from handmade jewelry and figurines to high-quality kitchen wares and organic hair products—the women’s expo achieved its goal of celebrating women-owned businesses, encouraging empowerment, and promoting breast cancer awareness.

Who's Up at The Speakers' Lounge: Mothyna James-Brightful!

Wow ladies, it has been an amazing time at the speakers' lounge here at The Pink Event! So it's very appropriate our final speaker is Mothyna James-Brightful. 

She is all about helping women map out successful lives. We're so excited to get some insight for identifying purpose in our lives and generating authentic success. 

A huge thank you to all of the speakers at The Pink Event! You made the ultimate girls' day out a resounding success! Be on the lookout for the recap with photos and videos!!  

Who's Up at The Speakers' Lounge: Natalie Forest!

Okay, we're not going to lie. Our mind is racing with all the thoughts about the fascinating things going on at The Pink Event 2014. But "Super Focus" mentor Natalie Forest, Ph.D., just showed up and took the podium at our speakers' lounge. 

Since she's teaching attendees how to let go of internal noise and focus on the good things, we have to cut this short. 

But you should really be here. Stop on by! Get more details at www.thepinkevent.net. 

Who's Up at The Speakers' Lounge: Precious Frazier!

Certified holistic health coach Precious Frazier just told us to put down the starchy bagel we were chowing down. We'd be mad, but she's an expert on clean eating and about to take the podium at The Pink Event's speakers' lounge. 

Precious didn't become healthy and awesome without discipline and great knowledge about eliminating toxins. We can't wait to hear about how to make our body work better!
