NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 23, 2007) - Women Against Cancer (WAC) is hosting its
annual Pink and White Party with a Purpose to raise funds for the fight
against breast cancer. The 2007 Pink and White Party will take place
Saturday, August 25, 2007, 4:00 to 9:30 pm at BLVD/Crash Mansion, 199
Bowery, NYC. This event provides food, fun, entertainment, DJ and dancing
as well as a silent bachelor/bachelorette auction. Ticket holders are
automatically entered in a raffle to win wonderful gifts.
100% of proceeds raised last year were donated to the Avon Walk for Breast
Cancer. Each year, WAC facilitates an exciting bachelor/bachelorette silent
auction. A highlight of this year's silent auction is an opportunity to bid
on Chris Gardner (Author of "The Pursuit of Happyness"). "Chris Gardner's
participation exemplifies his commitment to support our pursuit," said Lisa
Bland, WAC Treasurer. Lamman Rucker, who guest starred in the television
show "Half & Half," participated in last year's event. "We raised quite a
bit of money through Lamman's participation. Our highest bid (donation) was
for him. With the success of last year's event and with Gardner's
participation, our 2007 event will definitely be a huge success," continued
Bland.
"WAC offers attendees a wide range of fun-filled events in support of a
worthy cause," said Erica Ford, Executive Director of LIFECAMP, INC. "Not
to mention giveaways. Last year WAC gave away sports memorabilia and
autographed items from recording artists," continued Ford. Each year more
and more people support the program and enjoy the entertainment and shop at
the retail booths. "The Women Against Cancer event provides a venue for
individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds to have a great time,"
added Ford.
