With less than 10 days from the Celebrating Women’s Luncheon on Friday, October 24, at the Hilton Anatole, there are just a few tables are available “for any last minute supporters.” But what would you expect when Lisa Longino and Daffan Nettle are co-chairing the event and Maggie Kipp is handling the underwriting?
As you know so very well, patrons get the perks. In this case, it will get you to the patron party the night before and the VIP reception preceding the luncheon. And according to organizers, luncheon keynote speaker “Good Morning America’s” Amy Robach, who was diagnosed with breast cancer during an on-air mammogram in 2013, is scheduled to be at the VIP reception.
While Ebola is making today’s headlines, breast cancer has been impacting thousands and thousands of lives for ages. Thanks to the funds raised through the Celebrating Women Luncheon, research and treatments have dramatically saved lives in the war against breast cancer.
