Carole and Bob Machiz - Premier Sponsors of The Pink Light District

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Scottsdale, Ariz. - September 18, 2007 -
The Arizona Institute for Breast Health (AIBH), an Arizona breast cancer non-profit, is proud to announce the Premier Sponsors of The Pink Light District - Carole and Bob Machiz of Scottsdale.

AIBH is getting ready to make Scottsdale aglow on September 28th at The Pink Light District VIP Lighting Ceremony, taking place on the Canal Bridge, which links the Scottsdale Waterfront to the Southbridge District in downtown Scottsdale. All month long, breast cancer supporters have been purchasing Pink Honor Lights in recognition of those touched by this disease. On the evening of the 28th, Carole and Bob Machiz will have the exclusive honor of "flipping the switch" to light up the bridge and make it all happen!

Julie Robinson, AIBH President, is thrilled that Carole and Bob are sponsoring the event. "As longtime supporters of AIBH, we couldn't think of another couple we would rather have flip the switch than Carole and Bob!" Carole and Bob are a dynamic couple with not only a flair for giving, but a couple who always gives with compassion and sincerity along the way.

Wendy Farrelli, Co-Chair of this event, states that, "People nationwide are supporting this fundraiser by purchasing both single Pink Honor Lights as well as multiple lights. The excitement is building to see Scottsdale aglow." These pink light bulbs will remain lit throughout October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Farrelli is also excited to report that Arizona Public Service (APS) is supporting the event as a High Voltage Sponsor and JaniKing Southwest and US Oncology are participating as Megawatt Sponsors. She encourages others who wish to donate through a deeper level of giving to do so through AIBH's Individual and Corporate Sponsorship Program at www.ThePinkLightDistrict.org. With as little as a $500 donation, donors will receive an invitation to the VIP Lighting Ceremony the evening of September 28th.

All funds raised from this event go to women who are going through a breast cancer diagnosis. AIBH provides a second opinion for treatment options to women who have been diagnosed with this disease, completely free of charge. Since breast cancer does not discriminate, AIBH offers their services to all women so they have a place to go for a second opinion for treatment recommendations, for education about the disease and for support through this most difficult time.

To purchase a Pink Honor Lights, a Corporate or Individual Sponsorship, go to www.ThePinkLightDistrict.org. Pink Honor Lights for $20 and sponsorships will be available through the end of October in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and can be reached at 480-860-4200 or www.AIBH.org
