Description

October 2009 is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Beats for Boobs annual benefit is dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection.

The 6th annual Beats for Boobs event on Friday, October 23rd at 111 Minna will feature educational live art, fire performances, a fashion show, culinary delights and innovative music. This year we are hoping to raise over $25,000.

This year's theme is "Green is the new Pink" and will center around healthy living. Knowing that environmental toxins are one of the leading causes of disease, cancer, birth defects, asthma, and reproductive harm, Beats for Boobs will help educate people on how to reduce exposure in their own lives. The best cure for breast cancer is prevention.

Beats for Boobs(tm) supports organizations specifically devoted to the eradication of breast cancer through research, education, screening, support services and treatment.
