Every October the leaves change colors to oranges, yellows, and browns. Every October we are introduced to another color. Pink. Each year we recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to BreastCancer.org there has been 290,000 new cases of breast cancer so far in 2015. We at Empower Events want to bring awareness to this disease to help the women in our lives stay healthy and fight Breast Cancer. Our upcoming event will have us all saying, "We Can Cure It!"
Head down to Studio 1342 in East Los Angeles at noon for the start of our event. A buffet of brunch will be served in an open ballroom filled with white, silver, and pink decorations! Tables will be made by reservations so don't delay! During brunch we will listen to a Breast Cancer survivor Giuliana Rancic, who is a news anchor for E! News. She will share her journey with us and be open for questions and answers after her speech.
Think Pink and Have Some Fun

Our friends from The Loft will have a mini salon set up for some much needed pampering! The Loft specializes in beauty from haircuts to nail art. These hairstylists will be volunteering their time to Cut For A Cure. For $30 you can get your hair washed, cut, and styled by some of the best hairstylists in Los Angeles while donating to a good cause. The $30 will all be donated to the Los Angeles Breast Cancer Alliance in hopes of finding a cure. Along with hair cuts, The Loft stylists will be selling temporary pink hair extensions for $10! These extensions will be put in by the professionals. You may also get your nails done with amazing designs! Nail sets will be $15 and guaranteed to show your support for Breast Cancer.
Empower Events has always encouraged women to be tested for Breast Cancer and we are aware that everyone doesn't have the access to testing. This is why we are working with Planned Parenthood to provide free mammograms to all women who attend! Stop by the Planned Parenthood booth to learn more about mammograms and other Breast Cancer care.
At the end of our night at 5:30 pm we will be having a lantern and candle ceremony. During the day you will be able to decorate a white lantern that will be set into the night sky. These lanterns can represent a woman who is fighting, has fought, or has been affected by Breast Cancer. Decorating lanterns will be $5 and all proceeds will be donated to the Los Angeles Breast Cancer Alliance. When it becomes dark we will release these lanterns to fill the sky with light.

Fantastic work Cami. The first paragraph started off awkward. Makes sure you're not making your posts too long. Try to limit to three paragraphs of strong content.
ReplyDeleteI like the over all post but I did notice that the hyperlink color for the Los Angeles Breast Cancer Alliance was the same color as the rest of the text in the blog. I love the cut for a cure bit in there I thought that was very creative! The free mammograms would also help to draw more people to the event it self!
