WAGING WAR ON THE RUNWAY
PINK PEARLS TO SAVE THE GIRLS
story by Toni Miles photos by Dani Bolf
If you missed it last year, or the three years before, now’s your chance to reserve your seat
at the 4th Annual Pink Pearls to Save the Girls Fashion Show at Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort
on Saturday, October 9, as ladies, and possibly some gentlemen, will take to the fashion runway once again. One-hundred percent of proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation in the fight against breast cancer, going right back into our local community. Last year’s fashion show raised more than $30,000.
Suited up and dressed to the nines thanks to Dillard’s at Edgewater Mall, these breast cancer survivors, fighters and supporters will strut their stuff on the catwalk, shining like pearls, taking steps in the fight against this debilitating disease. Tickets are $50 a person or you can get half a table for $200, with seats for five. There will be
a silent auction with plenty of items to bid on.
It’s a first class event, as the Scarlet Pearl goes
all out to deck the halls and event center with joyful pink tidings, rivaled only by the glamorous outfits provided by Dillard’s at Edgewater Mall
in Biloxi, which will be worn by local models
who are fighting breast cancer or are survivors
of the disease. A few local celebrities will also be rocking the runway. Others will walk in memory of a loved one who was claimed by breast cancer.
Look around you. One in eight American women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Chances are you have a friend or family member who has faced, or is facing, this cancer. But you, they – we – don’t have to take it lying down. Join us in the fight against breast cancer; it’s a war we cannot afford to lose.
