On the first Saturday of October, the Cherish Moments non-profit organization hosted the 50 Shades of Pink Breast Cancer Luncheon and men’s fashion show.
Using the La Mesa Community Center for their supporters to meet and greet, and eat, the enthusiastic crowd listened to the slick sounds of DJ-Styles and praise-dancers and watched some well-dressed men strut their stuff.
The pink event also included a specal appearance by renowned speaker Dr. Kenny Perkins, aka the Cancer Guy.
“This is just another way for us to celebrate the survivors, honor the fallen while providing educational resources, and share testimonies,” Cherish Moments CEO, Lady Sherrel shared. “This event was also a great opportunity to fundraise for future events and for gifting breast cancer patients.”
Mr. Robert White, aka “Lil Cass”, took home the trophy for best dressed, best drip, and best swag in a close competition, as the confident stylist danced his way to victory to the sounds of Snoop and Tupac’s, “Gangsta Party”.
“This was fun, and it was for a good cause. I just grabbed some stuff out of my closet, you know how I get down,” Lil Cass shared.
The Cherish Moment Organization can add another victory to its impressive resume, as they continue to push their kick-breast-cancer-to-the-curb initiative.
