Tickled Pink Again This Year

March 10th, 2011 by Elizabeth Beskin | Share Blog

Every year we are pleased to be a part of the Tickled Pink fundraiser, which is organized and chaired by teens in their fight against breast cancer.  The event has grown significantly since our first involvement three years ago.  It was started by a dear friend and past client Iris Dankner, with her daughter Niki, after Iris survived her ordeal with the disease.

Together, Iris and Niki created a unique opportunity for teens to learn about fundraising in general, while also supporting a cause they believe in.  The gala evening that Niki and the teens produce helps build awareness and celebrates life.  As the event has progressed over the years, it is now being overseen by The Susan G. Koman Center for a Cure, with the Dankners’ ongoing assistance and support.  

This year, we brought our YouBooth photo booth to the event held at Marquee, the noted nightspot at 289 Tenth Avenue.  We encouraged all the teens to put on a pink boa for the cause.  Music was provided by the fabulous DJ Kiss! The event was emceed again this year by television host and chairman of Deutsch Inc. Donny Deutsch and LX New York co-host Sara Gore.”

In addition to the YouBooth, the guests were entertained by a Diane von Furstenberg fashion show of professional models, who walked the runway along with survivor moms and their children.  This is always a high point of the event.
