NASSAU \u2013 Members and friends of the Inner Wheel Club of East Nassau turned John Bull\u2019s Cosmetic Boutique pink recently to raise funds to assist the Cancer Society with their ongoing cancer screenings for breast and prostate cancer in the Family Islands and with research.<\/p>\n
The first Pretty in Pink Party was a success with more than 70 women attending dressed in pink in support of breast cancer. The Cosmetic Boutique, located on Bay Street across from John Bull\u2019s main store, was closed exclusively to party guests for two hours. Ladies enjoyed pampering, a raffle, champagne and hors d\u2019oeuvres as they shopped all in aid of raising funds.<\/p>\n
Breast cancer is affecting women in The Bahamas at an alarming and increasing rate. One of the best methods of beating breast cancer is through early detection. Similarly, early detection of prostate cancer saves lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, The Bahamas has an unusually high rate of breast cancer particularly hereditary breast cancer,\u201d said Kelly Meister of the Inner Wheel Club of East Nassau. \u201cOur goal is to raise funds to assist the Cancer Society with their ongoing cancer screenings for breast and prostate cancer in the Family Islands and for research into the gene. We sincerely thank John Bull for allowing us to host our party in such a lovely setting and for their support of this cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Corporate Social Responsibility is at the core of John Bull\u2019s corporate culture; we were naturally delighted to provide the venue in support of Inner Wheel\u2019s fundraising initiative. We definitely share the passion these ladies have for the CAUSE as John Bull Group of Companies also supports the work of The Cancer Society of The Bahamas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Pretty in Pink Party was a great success and a wonderful celebration for all who attended,\u201d added Mrs. Meister. \u201cMany of our members have personally been affected by breast cancer or their family members have fought the disease. We hope that our effort will help many detect breast and cancer early which ultimately saves lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Inner Wheel of East Nassau is a non-profit women\u2019s charitable organization that is affiliated with Rotary.\u00a0 Their events raise funds for several non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n
