Hot Pink Heroes Luncheon 2012

Today our Top Fundraisers were treated to lunch at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion.  Guests enjoyed a delicious grilled chicken salad, rolls, tea and chocolate cream brulee.  It was so good and the mansion is BEAUTIFUL!

Among the speakers were our 2011 Race Chair Jill that spoke about what an awesome Race we had and she thanked the fundraisers for all their hard work and decication to the cause!

This years Race for the Cure Race Chair is Kristi Moody.  She is excited and ready for this years "Race Season".  Kristi is married, a mother of two precious girls and a breast cancer survivor so she is very dedicated to the cause! She has chosen the Theme for this year to be Run as One.  She talked about how she came to deciding on the theme.  Kristi is a runner and her husband would always meet her at the finish line after the race which is awesome! Well, last year he got to experience what it is like to walk the race route as well.....and he was in AWE of the feeling of everyone coming together as ONE for ONE cause. So, there is was born....Run as One!!!

Survivor JoAnne Trinkle also spoke to the guests.  Thank you so much JoAnne! You did great!!!
