Will showcase student art and raise funds for cancer patients
Carson City Hospital’s cathedral-ceiling front lobby will be transformed into an elegant world of pink the evening of Thursday, October 21.
The “Pink-Ribbon Affair” will begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. It will feature an art auction showcasing artwork from students in the local community, a pink-themed silent auction, a chocolate fountain, pink treats and hors d’oeuvres, live music, and a multitude of door prizes. Local breast cancer survivors will be special guests of honor at the event.
“We have a fantastic team at Carson City Hospital which works together to help our patients navigate through the complex web of managing their breast health,” said Dr. Donna Moyer, Carson City Hospital’s Chief of Radiology and the event’s emcee. “We’re inviting the whole community to attend this unique fundraiser designed to let more people know about our great services, such as digital mammography, while raising funds for breast health education and patient support services. It’s going to be a very special evening.”
Live music will be performed by local musicians Joanne Burns Howard on the baby grand piano and Lorie Peterson on the harp. Dozens of community organizations and businesses have donated door prizes and silent auction items, with major sponsorship being provided by Blue Care Network.
This event is free to the public. Each attendee is invited to wear all pink, a little pink, or just a splash of pink in order to have his or her name entered into a drawing to win a pink NetBook computer donated by CMS Internet.
