I organized a fundraiser for the 2nd year, for our Mary Kay Foundation (funds research for cancers that affect women & domestic violence prevention programs,shelters) w/the Geneva,IL Kane County Cougars basebell team on Aug 30th,2009, called "Play it Pink!". These ladies pictured were in a group of 45 breast cancer survivors who attended the game. As a consultant w/Mary Kay for 24 years I have known women whose lives have been lost to cancer, and those who are winning the battle. At the game, one of these women shared an incredible story of her 2 daughters,one lost to cancer, the 2nd just diagnosed, & her personal conquest of breast cancer.May God continue to work His sovereignty and help us to know His power through our lives in the ultimate conquest of cancers that affect women and their families.I have dedicated myself to producing this event each year, and with the help, support of Mary Kay consultants & Directors,customers, community, and the Kane County Cougars Organization- we will "Play it Pink!!!!!"
