Go On Par for Pink: Check Out Tigerlily Foundation's First Annual Celebrity Golf Classic

With warm and sunnier weather finally coming to the Washington DC area (thank goodness we're not in Iowa), many of us are thinking about getting outdoors for fun activities. And if hitting golf balls on the green is your thing, you won't want to miss a great charity event put on by The Pink Event's 2013 official charity partner. 

"On Par for Pink: the Tigerlily Foundation's First  Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament" will provide a fabulous day of golfing on Thursday, May 9, at the Landsowne Golf Resort in Leesburg, Va. 

New Report: More Young Ladies Have Advanced Breast Cancer

Okay ladies, we have to get serious for a minute. You might not have seen it but there was a new report out today that showed a rising rate of advanced breast cancer in young women (ages 25 to 39) in recent decades.

The report found that between 1976 and 2009, the rate of metastatic breast cancer (which spreads to distant organs like bones or the brain) in this age group had increased by roughly 2 percent each year, according to a story in Yahoo! News.

It's a small increase but it means about 1.4 more cases per 100,000 people over the time period with no signs of slowing down. In other words, young women are facing advanced breast cancer in numbers they hadn't in the past.

This is near and dear to The Pink Event® 2013. Our annual women-focused expo---held on March 10 (12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia, Md.---promotes breast cancer and domestic violence awareness. 

The Pink Fireman to Appear at The Pink Event® 2013

Don’t expect a fire, but do expect to see “The Pink Fireman” at The Pink Event^® next month. The women-focused expo—happening at DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia, Md., on March 10—is pleased to announce that the head of For 3 Sisters will be on hand to encourage attendees to get checked for breast cancer. 

The Pink Event® 2013 Announces Tigerlily Foundation as Official Breast Cancer Charity Recipient
