The CANCER VIXEN FUNd is dedicated to help women who are uninsured receive the best breast care. It is crucial that everyone, whether they have insurance or not, receive the proper screening to catch breast cancer early so they have a greater chance of successfully kicking cancer. As Evelyn Lauder says, “Early detection saves lives.”
I have known Marisa now for a couple of years, and her story is amazing. Check out her website for more information. www.marisamarchetto.com
As a board member, my main focus was to help with the annual fund raising event. As with all non-profits, we needed to raise a lot of money, and didn't have a lot to spend on the event. It's all about prioritizing and seeing where you can get discounts and cut costs. Held at The Little Red School House in Greenwich Village in NYC, the event was an explosion of PINK-obviously! We wanted a sophisticated Sex and the City feel. We kept referring to it as Carrie Bradshaw's prom.
With simple lanterns, carefully placed lighting, and pink tablecloths, we were able to pull it all off for surprisingly little money. With DaSilvano serving the food (www.dasilvano.com), and DJ Sky (www.skynellor.com) spinning the tunes, the guests had a fabulous time!
