The sixth annual Pink Power Party will kick off Thursday at 5 p.m. The event celebrates breast cancer survivors and provides funds to breast cancer patients.
A Pink Power Girls Night Out Silent Auction, donations and sponsorships from various corporations provided funds to thousands of cancer patients in the community.
Victoria Connor, communications and marketing chairperson of Pink Power, said the event is open to men and women because breast cancer can be found in both genders.
“One out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in our lifetime and that’s too high of a number,” said Connor. “One out of every 833 men, so let’s not forget the men, but remember the ladies because it really is a disease that affects us so greatly in such huge numbers.”
