This week was a special week for Waltz Warriors. The money that we raised in the fall was finally put to use! You, our supporters helped us pay for 50 mammograms at the UTMB clinic in Pearland. We visited the clinic along with Megan from Pink Ribbons Project and delivered baskets full of healthy snacks and breast health information. My kids were able to see the mammography machine which they responded with "Eeeew!". Clearly they weren't impressed.
Our next fundraising opportunity will be a wine tasting event in September. Nos Caves Vin has offered to host us for wonderful and fun evening. We are hoping to raise the remaining funds needed for the Pink Ribbon Parade. Speaking of, one of our ribbons Butterfly Kisses will make its debut this evening at White Linen in the Heights. This event in Houston is expected to bring in 50,000 people to celebrate culture and art in Houston. For the first time, there will be a designated street called Pink Street for breast health organizations. Look out for Butterfly Kisses to be on the stage on Pink Street, we are thrilled!
And finally, Isabella and Hailey are still selling $5 raffle tickets for their pink quilt. It is beautiful and one lucky winner will be announced on August 15th. Let me or Keely know if you would like one or more tickets, we have sold close to 300!
Take care and Be Well,
