It was the 12th Anniversary for the after BREAST CANCER Pink Diamond Fundraising Gala held once again at Bellvue Manor on September 29th.
Of course, it is devastating for anyone to be diagnosed with cancer. Founder & Executive Director Alicia Vianga along with her team have been doing all possible by supporting necessary research and development efforts to improve a women’s quality of life after treatment (ABC) with this annual fundraising gala.
All proceeds from the gala will go directly to the ABC Care Kit and Thrive Program for women who are financially burdened following a mastectomy surgery and also those going into surgery.
Since men are also at risk, this year the Keynote Speaker was American music executive Mathew Knowles, a breast cancer survivor himself known as manager of Destiny’s Child among other acts and lately as educator and spokesperson on cancer recovery.
Speaking of music, great entertainment was presented by Duality at the opening reception, followed later by The Sound Parade, Vanessa Wang, Caren D’Cruz, Chris Munro and O’Deriic taking to the stage in celebration of life after breast cancer.
