Plie for Pink raised over $3,600 for Shades of Pink!

Our Xtend Barre class on Saturday, October 24th, was packed with strong women supporting the Shades of Pink Foundation and promoting self-exams for women of all ages! This Plie for Pink group brought lots of energy, smiles and generous donations. Collectively, with the match of owner, Nancy Hodari, we raised over $3,600! In a message to the clients before the class, Nancy expressed why she picked Shades of Pink as the recipient for these contributions...

"Shades of Pink hooked me with the words “sometimes a girl needs a little support.” They were not talking about bras.

As frightening as the diagnosis of breast cancer is for everyone, too many woman also experience a profound financial crisis as a result of her diagnosis and treatment.   I simply don’t want local women to lose their homes, their insurance, or have their lights turned off because of loss of wages or the expenses related to breast cancer treatment."

In a room decorated with pink balloons and full of pink athletic gear and tutus, women of all ages came together to show support for this organization and for their daughters, friends, and loved ones. One very special client and friend was at the top of people's minds. Ali, a young woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer, had all of her warriors taking their plies a little lower and their push-ups a little deeper in class as they sweat for her! Check out a small clip of the class here on our YouTube channel!

Loyal and loved client, Jean, wrote, "Great event and Jessie did a fantastic class. Glad to be part of this wonderful and important event!!"  Thank you all for making Plie for Pink 2015 a huge success!
