In The Pink at Pepper Place Market was a huge success! This is a little snapshot of our table that we had set up. [Those beautiful Dahlias on our table were purchased at the farmer's market.] We shared a tent and table with the UAB Palliative and Supportive Care Clinic giving out information about both of our causes. I was able to speak with 3 young breast cancer survivors, and hopefully get them involved with the YBCSN. The Pepper Place Market was very busy and everyone was out and about in pink, and people even got their dogs dressed up for the cause! There was one "celebrity" who visited our tent. [If any of you watch Grey's Anatomy, the distraught husband who ended up bringing a gun in the hospital and shooting some of the doctors a few seasons ago] He stopped by our tent wanting to find a cause to donate to, and we were more than happy to tell him why he should donate to our causes! The Pepper Place Market was so much fun to be at, and they have their farmer's market every Saturday from 7-12:00 if anyone would like to stop by. I really enjoyed working this event, being able to get the word out about our organization, and also the importance of early detection! I loved being able to meet survivor's and their families while hearing their incredible stories. This was a great event and hopefully these survivor's now have options for any needs that they may be having.
