My friend Josie Anderton is singing at Oasis The Sweet Escape for a Breast Cancer Awareness "Think Pink" week of events including a lineup of live music that continues through the 31st. She is dressed for the Halloween weekend. Aiden is on guitar.
The note card upon donating at the event reads: "Thank you for your donation to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer!!
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the American Cancer Society's fundraising event, where donations collected are restricted to breast cancer research, education, information, and patient services..
We know that finding breast cancer early, when it's easiest to treat, can mean the difference between life and death. So we provide screening guidelines, physician education, and engage in efforts to increase public awareness about the importance of yearly mammograms.
The good news is that breast cancer incidence and death rates are declining; more people are beating this disease thanks to early detection through mammograms and improved treatment methods. But there is still much more to be done.
To help raise money to fight breast cancer with us, set out a donation kiosk on your land and/or sell virtual goods in a Making Strides Vendor. You can pick up your own kiosk and vendor (for free) at ACS Island:
Once again, thank you for your donation and your support in the fight against breast cancer."
And remember guys and gals.. get checked regularly.
