Women Rock For The Cure (WRFTC) is turning up the heat this summer with the first annual Pink Trash Ball on Saturday, July 25, 2009 at local hot spot Mad Donna’s Restaurant in East Nashville (1313 Woodland St., Nashville, TN). Doors open at 8:00pm. This hot pink-themed evening features a live DJ spinning classic 80′s, dancing, pink carpet arrival and the delicious signature WRFTC pink cocktails. Come decked out in your best trashy pink attire, there will be a king and queen of the ball crowned that night. No cover (suggested $10 donation).
All of the proceeds will be benefit Women Rock For The Cure and the Greater Nashville affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure®. The funds raised by the Komen Race for the Cure® Series help support breast cancer research grants, meritorious awards, and community outreach programs. The Komen foundation raises awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.
Let’s Rock and Find A Cure!
About Women Rock For The Cure
WRFTC was founded in 2007 by four friends with ties to the music industry: Jensen Sussman, Liz Lee Schullo, Rebekah Lee Beard and Tara Austin who all met through the Society of Leaders in Development (SOLID), an organization for young music business professionals. With the support of SOLID, the girls set out to organize an all-female, writer-in-the round benefit concert – later called Women Rock For The Cure – to help raise awareness and funds for SOLID’s Race For The Cure team. Since then, WRFTC has worked to support the Greater Nashville affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure®, raising money and increasing breast cancer awareness locally. After two amazing years of standing-room-only concerts, the founders decided to make WRFTC a non-profit organization. With the group’s new status, WRFTC is pinker than ever and always rockin’ to reach the organization’s vision; WRFTC is committed to fighting breast cancer by utilizing the passion, creativity and strength of the entertainment industry to find inspiring ways to raise money for Susan G. Komen For The Cure® Greater Nashville, as well as creating awareness programs for men and women of all ages.
