The Madison Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is hoping everyone in Madison will be seeing pink in October to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  The second annual Light the Town Passionately Pink for the Cure event begins on Friday October 10, 2008 as the State Capitol Building is bathed in pink light.  The same weekend an inaugural event entitled WOMEN ROCK FOR THE CURE will take place at music venues throughout the city.

"We are so excited to paint Madison pink again this year through the Passionately Pink for the Cure celebration," says Michelle Heitzinger, executive director of the Madison Affiliate of Susan G Komen for the Cure.  "This is truly a great way to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month."

 

Madisonians wishing to support the event can light their homes, offices and businesses pink by purchasing pink lights. Orange Tree Imports and Madison Lighting are selling pink lights leading up to the October 10 event.  A portion of all sales will benefit the Madison Affiliate of Susan G. Komen.

 

 

Join us for an exciting event October 10, 2008. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Madison Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and its volunteers are planning the first annual WOMEN ROCK FOR THE CURE.  This inaugural event will take place at the following music venues throughout the city:

 

Each location will have various music groups that honor or support women and will donate a minimum of $1 from each admission charge to help end breast cancer forever.  Business participants will have additional specials that evening to benefit Komen Madison.

 

"We are thrilled to bring this new celebration to Madison,"  says Hietzinger.  "The people of Madison are very generous in their support of breast cancer awareness.  We are hoping that through the Light the Town Passionately Pink for the Cure celebration and WOMEN ROCK FOR THE CURE we can really engage people in a weekend to fight breast cancer."

 

Show your true colors.  Wear pink, raise funds and show your determination to end breast cancer forever.  The Madison Affiliate is part of the national event called Passionately Pink for the Cure.  Pick any day in October, wear pink, make a $5 donation and inspire others to do the same.  For more information about Passionately Pink for the Cure, visit www.komen.org and click on Join Cynthia Nixon and Go Passionately Pink.
