The event is being called “Think Pink’ and people attending are being encouraged to wear pink clothing.
Ann Summers parties are more akin to peoples’ sitting rooms, but organiser Vicky Ward is hoping that the spacious venue in Kilmurry will encourage several dozen people to attend. Inspired by the pain and suffering endured by many victims of breast cancer in the locality, Ms Ward is optimistic that this event
will raise awareness of early detec- tion of breast cancer.
‘This month is breast cancer aware- ness month. The special thing about this event is that the 10 per cent com- mission which normally would go to the hostess, will go to the Irish Can- cer Society,” said Ms Ward.
“My grandmother had cancer and leukemia. It is believed that one in 11 women have breast cancer and it is important to raise the awareness of this and a night like this is something
women should support,” she added.
‘People can support the event by or- dering something through Ann Sum- mers. It is just in time for Christmas. Ann Summers has a new catalogue coming up for Christmas and what better time to get some treats for yourself,” she quipped.
“Tam hoping that at least 1OO wom- en will attend,” she said.
