A weekend surrounded by hope. Emcee and Auctioneer for two totally unique parties with similar breast cancer missions. The pictures from both are wild.
First, : “Best over-the-top theme party in Charlotte.” 200 women in wedding dresses for charity. Another 100 as bridesmaids, pastors, guests. Women getting their own bridal gowns out of storage; others using Goodwill and Amazon to create white masterpieces. This sellout crowd is full of strangers who become friends, laughing, bonding, fighting over a bouquet toss and shoving pink cake (cut by beautiful bald women going through chemo) in each others’ happy faces. Remarkable vibe. Slide 3 ➡️, my favorite.
Then, the elegance of ‘Roaring in Pink’: Think magical garden inside a ballroom. Survivors, Thrivers and Fighters walking through a rose-filled runway to launch a new collection of dresses from . This global designer handcrafted 27 couture dresses in memory of his sister. After debuting them in Charlotte this weekend, he’s taking them to Dubai for Fashion Week. The flower-filled space felt like highly elevated glamour.
The women in my family have a long history of breast cancer. My great-grandmother, my Grammy, and my mom battled. My mom died of metastatic breast cancer in 2017. To emcee this wedding party that benefits and Auctioneer for Carolina Breast Friends is a personal reward hard to describe.
The whirlwind month continues. I type this from an airport. Bet On Yourself… and watch more and more good unfold.
