PINK AID CT & LI OCTOBER EVENTS BRING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS WITH
COMPASSION ØR FASHION 6th Annual Pink Aid CT Luncheon & Fashion Show
Guest speaker Joan Lunden.
In its sixth amazing year, Pink Aid Connecticut filled the house to the seams at Mitchells Westport for its annual luncheon and fashion show, co-chaired by Lori Sochol and Denise Walker. Tickets sold out online in 10 minutes — surely a record… unless you’re a rock star! Vince created a sophisticated yet wearable fashion show for the guests and models presented the Spring 2017 collection on the runway. The audience responded, as the looks totally related to their busy lives. Award-winning TV journalist, wellness activist and best-selling author Joan Lunden, a breast cancer survivor herself, shared her story of being saved by an ultrasound. She has made it a personal mission to educate and inspire others about breast cancer prevention, treatment and survival. Of course, the triumph of the day was the Warrior models gracing the runway with courage and confidence to a roar of applause! With the help of 100 passionate board members, donors and founding sponsors CTC&G, WSAA and Valerie Wilson Travel, Pink Aid is significantly changing the way Connecticut is able to provide compassion to those who need it most, granting over $2 million and helping over 4,000 women.
