To kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the C. Pharr team
attended the In The Pink Luncheon hosted by one of our clients, Lake Pointe Health
Network (LPHN), at the Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront. The event was a
charity fundraiser to benefit community outreach, education and enhanced
coverage for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the
communities served by the LPHN.
Instead of spending the day at the office, I was able to
attend the In The Pink luncheon with the team, where I got to play dress-up and
take pictures at the photo booth. The photo booth was by far my favorite part,
but it wasn't just me, the photo booth was a hit with everyone at the event! Then
again, who doesn't enjoy bringing out their inner child?
As we ate the delicious, never-ending food, one woman took
the stage to share her heartwarming story of breast cancer survival. It was
powerful and spoke to every person in the room. After, a panel of medical
professionals took the stage and answered questions about breast cancer
screening, diagnosis and treatment from attendees. I can personally say that at
this event, I learned more than I have in my whole life about breast cancer.
At the end of the event, they honored all of the breast cancer
survivors and those currently fighting the disease with pink roses. All in all,
we had a great time at the event and I was thrilled to be included in the
experience.
