Red + White = Pink for Rethink

Everywhere we look there are countdowns to Friday, April 29th – the coincidence of running an event on the same day as the Royal Wedding! But Kate Middleton won’t be the only woman in white that day! Young women in Toronto will be decked out and attending the 9th Annual Red & White Ball in support of Rethink Breast Cancer.

Nine years ago the event was started by a group of young women to show support for their friend who was battling breast cancer, and every year the event gets bigger and bigger – making more of an impact on the fight against Breast Cancer.

We’ve been involved in the event for the past 4 years and every year we are overwhelmed by the support that the community gives to the event, and to Rethink Breast Cancer. We have both lost close friends and family to breast cancer, and are thrilled to bring hundreds of people together each year to build awareness and raise funds for this worthy cause. We are volunteers, who, like the other lovely ladies who help make this event possible year in and year out, have discovered that our time, energy, and effort is far more valuable than the money we can afford to donate individually. Instead, we devote our spare time to planning and promoting this event each year and we are proud to say we plan to attract 500 young professionals and raise over $20,000 for Rethink with this year’s event.

One of our favourite parts of the evening is seeing everyone dressed up in Red & White. We barely have to decorate at all because everyone does it for us! This year’s event is going to be bigger and better than ever, and we’ve got tons of surprises planned for the evening.

We promise that this will be one unforgettable night and we can’t wait to see you on Friday, April 29th, 2011!
