Paint Avalon Pink Kicks Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month

From The Wilbert Group:

Pull out your favorite pink outfit and get ready to Paint Avalon Pink for breast cancer awareness on Oct. 5 from 6 to 7:15 p.m. The event will feature a free yoga class, local breast cancer survivors including Julie Chrisley from “Chrisley Knows Best” speaking about their experiences, giveaways from Avalon’s retailers and more.

“Breast cancer awareness is a cause that’s very important to us and the entire Alpharetta community,” said Carla Toro, director of marketing at Avalon. “Starting with the Paint Avalon Pink kick-off event, we’re dedicating the whole month of October to giving back to Susan G. Komen and honoring local survivors.”

Paint Avalon Pink begins with a special AvalOM wellness class in The Plaza, followed by the kick-off event which will feature local breast cancer survivors speaking about their experiences. The fountain will light up pink throughout the evening, and there will be pink giveaways and other fun activities.
