Speakers Announced for The Pink Event® 2016!!

We are making progress every day with our next ultimate women's day out! And we're excited to announce that The Pink Event^® 2016 (March 6, 2016 at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum) will have three exceptional speakers. 

Here is a rundown of the ladies that you'll see, offering inspiration and great ideas!

See What This NFL Player Did to Combat Breast Cancer

If you watch NFL football, you'll notice the League goes to great lengths to support October as Breast Cancer Awareness month.

But one player with the Pittsburgh Steelers took it a step further. According to The Root, DeAngelo Williams recently lost his mother to breast cancer. To honor his mother, Williams is paying for 53 mammograms through his charity, the DeAngelo Williams Foundation. 

Here at The Pink Event, we love spotlighting these incredible acts of charities because we care about women's issues. In fact, breast cancer has been a signature issue The Pink Event has highlighted since our first women-focused expo. 
Next year for for The Pink Event^® 2016, we will team up with breast cancer charity For 3 Sisters, Inc., and domestic violence organization House of Ruth Maryland, Inc., as our event's official charity partners. Learn more about that here.

The Pink Event® 2016 Selects Charity Partners

Living up to its commitment to support women’s issue, Diamond Event Services, LLC, announced this week it will work with breast cancer charity For 3 Sisters, Inc., and domestic violence organization House of Ruth Maryland, Inc., as official charity partners for The Pink Event^® 2016.

Make Most of Ovarian Awareness Cancer Month by Tuning into Your Body

If you didn't know, September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. Ovarian cancer is a tricky and dangerous disease as there is no real clear diagnosis test, which means that women have to be in tune with their bodies to know the symptoms.

According to WESA FM, those signs include abdominal bloating, feeling full, and needing to urinate more frequently. Ovarian cancer also has a genetic link like breast cancer, which makes it important for women to know their family histories. Among the most important actions is to talk with your gynecologist or women's care doctor regularly to know the risks and what to look for.

The Power of Kindness! How Community Helped Homeless Mom of 3 Battling Breast Cancer

Courtesy of Fox 2 News

Okay just a warning, but this might make you tear up. We here at The Pink Event^® are in love with the Detroit community that responded after Fox 2 News ran a tragic story about Simone Hearn--who at the time was homeless, had three children, and was dealing with stage 3 breast cancer. Two weeks after Hearn's story aired, Fox 2 News received so much support that they were able to find Hearn and her children an affordable place to live. 

Save the Date for The Pink Event® 2016!!!

The Pink Event^® has officially announced that it will be back at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum for our 2016 expo. So what you need to do RIGHT NOW is save March 6, 2016 for the hottest women's expo in the Baltimore-Washington region. 

Want to learn what the ultimate women's day out is all about. Read the full recap here and check out our awesome video below.

See the Screening Method That's Catching Breast Cancer More than Mammographies

We here with The Pink Event^® love technology and science. After all, medical advances help us get closer to a lasting medical cure for breast cancer. In addition to shining a hot pink spotlight on female entrepreneurship,  The Pink Event cares very passionately about breast cancer awareness and education.

So we really enjoyed this recent piece in The Huffington Post about a new type of breast cancer screening called digital breast tomosynthesis. This is a 3-D screening method that a new medical study says is better at detecting breast cancer tumors than mammographies and is also less painful. Additionally, women are exposed to less radiation in the screening process. 

Read more about this new advancement in the story and check out this video the article had that gives a better idea of technology at its finest!

Now THIS Is a Great Example of Female Empowerment!

Sara Bahayi is an Afghan taxi driver who is making
waves in her country for female empowerment. 

We're getting closer to an awesome time at The Pink Event® 2015, as well as International Women's Day, which falls on the same day of March 8. 

International Women's Day is about celebrating women's achievement in society. That's also a big point of our women-focused expo that will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum, Md.

So when we read in today's The Washington Post about a fearless Afghan woman--who is basically the only taxi driver in a country where most men believe women are forbidden to drive--we had to make note of it.

Certified nutrition and fitness specialist Vanessa
Ballard will discuss how to be healthy without
dieting at The Pink Event® 2015. 

One thing we know about the #ultimatewomen who plan to join us for The Pink Event® 2015 (March 8, 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum) is that they are powerfully health-conscious.

Enter fitness and nutrition coach, Vanessa Ballard (@VanessaLBallard). She is certified to give fantastic health tips, having completed courses for weight management consulting and personal training through the American Aerobic Association International and International Sports Medicine Association.

Pink Spotlight: Pink Fireman Marshall Moneymaker Reveals Tips for Helping Breast Cancer Patients at The Pink Event® 2015

He may be the only male speaker at The Pink Event® 2015 (March 8, 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum) but you don't want to miss hearing from Marshall Moneymaker. 

Known as the Pink Fireman, Marshall (@For3Sisters) and his wife, Shannon, operate For 3 Sisters, Inc. This nonprofit group, which is also the Charity Partner for The Pink Event 2015, is an Olney, Md.-based nonprofit that helps those with breast cancer find much-needed support and resources.

Marshall took a few minutes out of his busy day to explain what he'll be talking about at The Pink Event 2015:

Question: What drew you to speak at The Pink Event?

Answer: I was asked to speak at a previous Pink Event. At that time, I felt my message connected with the audience and people could relate to what I was speaking about. The Pink Event is a great venue to reach our target audience--women--and I welcomed the opportunity to speak again at this year's event! 

Woman Throws Good-Bye Boobs Party

This light-hearted effort in dealing with a heavy subject made us chuckle. A British radio and TV presenter, who faced a high likelihood of having breast cancer, did something a little different in preparation for a preventive double mastectomy surgery.

She  held a good-bye party for her breasts. According to The Huffington Post, the event wasn't a funeral but rather a celebration of her life and natural boobs. See the full story here. 

The Pink Event® 2015 is a big proponent of breast cancer awareness. In fact, we are giving 20% of all ticket sales to our 2015 Charity Partner, For 3 Sister, Inc. a nonprofit organization that provides support and resources to breast cancer patients and their families.
