FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scottsdale, Ariz. - September 16, 2009 - The Arizona Institute for Breast Health (AIBH), an
Arizona breast cancer non-profit, will be holding their 3rd annual Pink Light District Lighting Ceremony at
Olive & Ivy, a Sam Fox Restaurant, the evening of October 1st.
AIBH has brought back the unique
Pink Light District initiative, where individuals can pay tribute to someone
touched by breast cancer by sponsoring a pink light bulb that will be placed on the Canal Bridge that links the Scottsdale
Waterfront to the Mix District in downtown Scottsdale.
Wendy Farrelli, AIBH President, explains, "Olive & Ivy is located adjacent to the Canal Bridge, making this a excellent location for the Lighting Ceremony."
This is the gathering where Corporate and Individual Sponsors will witness the "flipping of the switch" to illuminate the thousands of
Pink Honor Lights that have been placed on the bridge in honor of survivors and supporters nationwide. With as little as a $500 sponsorship,
donors will receive an invitation to the VIP Lighting Ceremony.
According to Farrelli, "Many corporate sponsors have also donated at a deeper level of giving, such as Jani-King Southwest, AZ Weekly Magazine, and
JWorks, to name a few. Having the support of these wonderful organizations helps us bring attention to the cause so
that more women in Arizona know they have AIBH to lean on when faced with a breast cancer diagnosis."
AIBH supporters can go online now through October 31st at
www.ThePinkLightDistrict.org
to sponsor a Pink Honor Light for $25 in honor or in memory of someone touched by breast cancer!
With each sponsorship, the donor can designate an Honoree to be recognized as they go
through the sponsorship process. A Tribute Card is immediately emailed to the Honoree
on the donor's behalf and the donor receives a tax receipt letter as the donation
is 100% tax deductible.
AIBH provides a second opinion for treatment options to women who have
been diagnosed with breast cancer,
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. 100% of funds
raised through all AIBH fundraising efforts stay in Arizona and
go directly to supporting women who are dealing with a breast
cancer diagnosis.
The Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and can be
