Each October our eyes are literally filled with pink, rather it’s watching an NFL football game, at work, restaurants, airlines, you name it everyone is rocking pink. Since I was about 12, my mom has been walking in breast cancer walks, hosting events, and twice has done a 60 mile walk for the cause. It is a cause of such importance to all communities but has an inedible impact and black women who are dying at a much higher rather than our white counterparts. One would only ask why is that? According to published reports from the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Black Women’s Health, the number one reason is late detection and care. We should not only be concerned with Breast Health in October but 365 days a year, this is our lives ladies and gents and we must take care of our body. That’s why I’m pleased that one of our supporters Charessa Sawyer is charging up her community to bring awareness to this cause outside of the month of October, but to also honor breast cancer survivors with Charge Up! Charge Pynk!
It’s back again with a bigger vision, a pink champagne gala hosted by Simply Charessa Events (SCE) presented a breast cancer awareness event in October that you couldn’t forget, as they launched Charge Up! Charge Pynk! With such a heart-felt connection to breast cancer after her mother’s diagnosis, Charessa (SCE- CEO) made it her promise to honor breast cancer and help those who are battling the disease. Simply Charessa Events hopes to help save lives by encouraging everyone, young and old, male and female to be aware of cancers, and seek preventative measures.
