Be Brilliant, Be Bold, Be Bright Pink

This September Helping Hands Forever will be hosting an event at Flirty Girl Fitness to benefit Be Bright Pink.

Flirty Girl Fitness aims to make exercise so outrageous and fun it will inspire women to get fit. Bright Pink aims to empower women and provide women with the information and resources necessary to take control of their health. In the partnering of these two organizations Helping Hands Forever, Inc. hopes to raise funds and awareness for Bright Pink , while empowering the community.

Be Bright Pink, to put it simply, focuses on breast and ovarian cancers. According to their website, breast cancer is one of the leading diagnosis of cancer in women and cervical cancer is one of the deadliest. Furthermore in families these two types of cancer are often linked. Bright Pink aims to empower women to be proactive about their health and offers the support and resources necessary.

Be Bright Pink

Our September 13th event will be benefiting "Be Bright Pink".

Bright Pink exists to enlighten and empower high risk individuals to take control of their breast and ovarian health by providing education, support and a sense of community for a better, brighter future.

Bright Pink is a great organization because it is not a reactive organization, it is proactive. Bright Pink encourages women to take control of their bodies and their health.

Second City Style and Helping Hands Forever

A Night of Moroccan Luxury

On Friday July 17th Helping Hands Forever hosted a Moroccan Night of Luxury. The event raised funds and awareness for CAWC (Connections for Abused Women and their Children).

CAWC has made a commitment to ending domestic violence though, “self-help, and empowerment approach”. CAWC provides shelter for women and children, offers counseling, advocacy and a 24-hour hotline. Through education, service collaborations, and institutional advocacy, Connections for Abused Women and their Children works for social change.

The event was held at the Shrine, a chic lounge in Chicago’s South Loop. The theme, Moroccan Luxury, was woven throughout the event. The tables were garnished with striking bouquets of exotic flowers and the lighting was soft and sultry. Guests mingled about sampling hor d’oeuvres from Mai Chef Cuisine and sipping on complementary house wine.

A traditional belly dancer enticed the crowd, capturing their attention before a fashion show began. The show featured pieces by MGO Fashions and Isabella Designs. Throughout the night guests had the opportunity to bid on silent auction items. The finale of the fashion show presented several Chicago powerhouse women including Susanna Negovan from Michigan Avenue Magazine, Elena Sotomayer, VP of CNM, and Lauren Mitrick, President of WCR. . The inclusion of successful Chicago business women emphasized CAWC’s goal to empower women and conquer abuse.
