When I was in Florida, Jennifer took us to a Pink Tea Luncheon, sponsored by her hospital Fish Memorial Cancer Institute. There were about 500 people who attended this event, cancer survivors, their family and friends and supporters. They had a panel of experts in the field of breast cancer, from medical oncologists, radiologists, nurse practitioner to a plastic surgeon.
The fundraiser for that event was called Braz Cauz. It was an idea started by two breast cancer survivors, where they asked local artists to design bras (like the one above) and then auctioned them both at the luncheon and online. It was so neat to see all the creative things/ways that people used for the bras. The money raised will be used to pay for mammograms for women who cannot afford them and get lost in the system.

The event was held was at a Marriott Hotel. They did a wonderful job setting up te place and serving a menu fit for tea, with salads and sandwiches and fruit and desserts. Delicious :-)
