They say a picture is worth a thousand words, which is why we filled this newsletter with beautiful photos from our fabulous New York City and Los Angeles Pretty In Pink & Women of Strength Awards!

Our star-studded Los Angeles Pretty In Pink Luncheon featured the first recipient of The Get In Touch Foundation's Jean Stapleton Award.

We gave that award to Emmy-award winning writer and producer Jason Katims for his work on the NBC series, "Parenthood."

The award honors an actor, writer, director or producer who presents the story of someone with breast cancer in a respectful yet realistic light in television, film or theatre. "Parenthood" dealt with this storyline with compassion and humor making him the ideal person to receive this honor.

Our events help us raise the significant funding we need in order to continue to provide our free program and Daisy Wheels to girls in schools all over the globe. We are grateful to our chairpersons, our sponsors, our guests and all of our supporters.

Thank you for being glorious co-conspirators in our life giving legacy of hope!

Hope Lives!

Pink Power Mom Roundtable

It's an honor to sit on the Kids II Pink Power Mom Steering Committee with my friends and survivor sisters, Jamie Ledezma, Heidi Floyd (PPM Executive Director) Amy Paterson, and Tracie Metzger.

We spent a weekend at Kids II Headquarters in Atlanta last month with the 2014 Pink Power Moms. We had the opportunity at our PPM Roundtable to get know each of these eight women better, and to learn about the respective charities they have chosen that will benefit from the $5,000 donation that Kids II has made in their honor to that charity.
