The Power of Pink
Oh, the color pink, and
how it reminds us of all sorts of pretty little things - dainty spring flowers in
a long-awaited bloom, refreshing pink lemonade on a hot summer day, and some of
the most colorful creatures to grace the face of the earth, our beloved flamingos.
This iconic color has come to represent more than just everyday objects and
animals, and like all great colors, pink now holds meaning, signifying
femininity, romance, and tenderness among many other associations. Today, in
fact, pink has come to represent something even more powerful, breast cancer awareness,
and there's no better time to support the fight against breast cancer than on National
Pink Day this June 23. New Orleans' favorite Flamingo
A-Go-Go will be teaming up with local non-profit Breastoration for National
Pink Day to support a greater cause, and you're invited to have some fun and help
them out!
National Pink Day at Flamingo A-Go-Go
This June 23, lovers of pink
are encouraged to band together to support a greater cause at New Orleans' Flamingo
A-Go-Go. In honor of the celebration, any restaurant guest who shows up in the
vibrant color of pink will receive a chilled, refreshing glass of Flamingo
A-Go-Go's famous frose', on the house. All you have to do is gather some friends,
paint 'em in pink, and you and your flock could be casually sipping a delicious
beverage while having some fun.
Not only is Flamingo
A-Go-Go offering an incredible chance at relaxation and fun with your crew, but
you can easily support a greater cause while you're at it. After collecting a complimentary
frose' to match your rosy toned attire, bar and restaurant goers can easily support
a greater cause just by ordering a delicious meal. For every entrée sold at
Flamingo A-Go-Go on National Pink Day, $1 will be donated to Breastoration, a
non-profit organization that is based in the city of New Orleans.
About Breastoration and their Mission
Breastoration founders,
Sandy Keller, Eve Wallinga, and Kim Sport had a mission in mind when creating
their non-profit organization: to help some of those they relate to most -
breast cancer survivors. Today, Breastoration
seeks to help patients of breast cancer with accessibility to breast reconstruction
surgeries after surgical mastectomies, living by the simple mantra, "Reconstruction
following breast cancer surgery is not cosmetic surgery."
Breastoration has two
main goals in their mission to help breast cancer patients, that is, education
and financial assistance. Above all else, the New Orleans' non-profit seeks to
educate women on their options for breast reconstruction surgeries so that they
can make treatment decisions that best fit their own circumstances. On top of
their mission for education, Breastoration graciously offers financial support
to women seeking breast reconstruction in the State of Louisiana, with the hope
of helping these women retrieve some of the femininity that breast cancer might
have stolen from them.
You can support Breastoration
and their mission this June 23 by heading on over to Flamingo A-Go-Go and grabbing
a bite to eat with your flock. Dig up your favorite pink outfit from the depths
of your closet, sip on a free frose' with your crew, and show your support to a
good cause at this National Pink Day celebration!
