A Night of Pink Hope

October 8, 2011 - Being October, it's breast cancer awareness month and this event called "A Night of Pink Hope" gave a new voice to young women battling breast cancer and gave back to the community. This event at The Sheraton Annapolis, showcased beauty and fashion in a special way.

The mission of the evening was to use the talents of stylists in hair and makeup to achieve a couple goals: 1) raise awareness about what it means to be a young woman battling breast cancer and 2) showcase the diversity of Robert Andrew stylists under the direction of Artist Director and Redkin Designer Brian Washburn.

The event gave thanks to clothing designers Cloud 9 and Zweet Sportswear, as well as their four jewelry sponsors: Diamond Cutters of Maryland, Mijou Jewelry, Little Treasury Jewelers and Zachary's Jewelers.

The Pink Hearts of Hope (PHH) Fund of The We Believe Foundation is creating a legacy for the Funds first Director Rosemary Quade who wanted to reach beyond her battle with breast cancer and give back to the young adults she loved very much. Rosemary's vision and dream lives on through the support of Pink Hearts for Hope Fund.

It was a very full and fulfilling evening with guests enjoying the many things on the agenda such as the VIP Cocktail Hour, Silent Auction, Hors d'overes and Cocktails. A step and repeat was set up and many photographs were taken of the guests, which included several local celebrities.

The FACES (Fashion, Attitude, Courage, Energy, Survival) show brought out fashion with stories from those affected by breast cancer and more was shared with platform models around the room. After that show the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders and Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders each gave a performance that stomped the runway. The silent auction was held and many people contributed to the cause.

Several people were responsible for helping to make this event a success including: Paul Wharton was the master of ceremonies. Jinahie as a Spoken Word Artist, Kristina Granados as VIP Entertainer, DJ Neekola, Andrew Larris as Technical Producer, Eddie Fam as the Event Producer and Promoter, and Rose DiFerdinando as Director and Celebrity Stylist of IMPACT Marketing and Events. Terri Shaffer stepped in as the PHH Executive Director in 2011. Thanks to Sarah Miller, President of The We Believe Foundation for her involvement with this evening and supporting the cause. All proceeds benefit We Believe Foundation's Pink Heart of Hope Fund. It was certainly a night of hope, belief and action.
