Local Breast Cancer Survivors Model in “Pink Carpet” Fashion Show
The Donna Foundation and Parkway Plastic Surgery Host Benefit at The Florida Theatre
JACKSONVILLE, FL (8/19/10) – Please join us for a night to remember. On October 7, more than 20 breast cancer reconstruction patients of Parkway Plastic Surgery’s Dr. Rebecca Glasser will prove it as they sashay down the runway during “An Evening on the Pink Carpet,” hosted by The Donna Foundation and Parkway Plastic Surgery and presented by MIA Styling and Mentor Worldwide, LLC.
An Evening on the Pink Carpet will feature a special presentation and fashion show at 7:30 p.m. at The Florida Theatre, 128 East Forsythe Street, in Downtown Jacksonville. A 6:00 p.m. VIP reception with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for VIP ticket holders takes place prior to the presentation. First Coast News Anchor and three-time breast cancer survivor Donna Deegan, founder of the Donna Foundation, will host a pre-show special during the evening newscasts on WTLV-12 and WJXX-25. Proceeds will benefit First Coast women living with breast cancer.
“Besides the obvious physical effects, breast cancer can take a devastating toll on a woman’s emotions even after her cancer is removed or goes into remission,” says Dr. Rebecca Glasser of Parkway Plastic Surgery. “We specialize in post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery that helps restore a breast cancer survivor’s look and her confidence. We’re looking forward to seeing our patients grace the runway, looking and feeling beautiful and helping fellow and future breast cancer survivors do the same.”
Tickets for An Evening on the Pink Carpet are available through The Florida Theatre (www.floridatheatre.com) and are $30, $45 and $75. Levels constitute preferential seating and admission to the VIP reception.
