Together In Pink Event Recap
On October 24th, we took over the Alba Wine Bar patio for Together in Pink: A Stronger Northshore, our breast cancer awareness event. The weather was perfect, the patio was pink, and our guests showed up ready to support. Live music from Kellie Outlaw, Jordann Mitchell, and Bleached Roses kept the evening going.
Sefra had delicious eats for our guests, and Healing Oasis offered massages for anyone who needed a minute to breathe.
Our vendor lineup was a full roster of women-owned talent:
Kendall Designs Boutique
Fantazmo Studios
Lily Work Soap
Jewelry by Broken Chain Tattoo
Arise Bakery
Matchbox Cabin Studio
Lago Vista Tattoo Company, who brought tattoos to the event
Why we did it
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Think about the women in your own circle, your family, your friends, the ones you work next to. Awareness matters because it turns into early detection, conversations, check-ups, and support for the women living this right now. It also gives us a reason to gather, and that mattered to us.
Along the front windows, we hung pink ribbons honoring survivors and remembering the women we’ve lost. People stopped to read them and to take a moment. It was quiet and meaningful in the middle of a party, and it reminded us why we were all there.
Pink passports
We created the Pink Passport as a way to encourage guests to shop from our local vendors. While shopping, guests had their cards initialed, then turned them in at the end of the event for a chance to win prizes, including:
A Love & Hope Candle Company breast cancer candle
A Kendall Designs Pink Box
A Lily Work Soap gift
An Alba Wine gift card
A mini session with Aliya Kay Photography
The passports did what we hoped they would. People explored, visited the tables, and left knowing a few more women-owned businesses than when they arrived.
What it meant
Bringing together women-owned businesses and musicians for a cause that matters is exactly why we’re here, and we want to keep doing more of it.
To every vendor, performer, prize donor, volunteer, and guest who came out or helped spread the word: thank you. You made it an event worth remembering.
We can’t wait to do it again.
