Ribbons &amp; Roses
Pink Ribbons, Strong Women
A Community of Care Luncheon &amp; Conversation
Join us for an intimate Breast Cancer Awareness Month gathering created to uplift, honor, and empower women in every season of life.
Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, daughter, sister, friend, or simply a woman in need of hope and encouragement there is a seat for you.
Ribbons &amp; Roses will include an adult women’s conversation and a separate, age-appropriate discussion for teen girls ages 13–19, centered on health, confidence, trusted support, and protecting her future. Bring your daughter, granddaughter, niece, mentee, or a teen she loves.
More than an awareness event, Ribbons &amp; Roses is a reminder that you do not have to walk alone.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Held by God. Strengthened by Hope. Surrounded by Community.

TradeWorx Academy

TradeWorx Academy is Northern Virginia’s hands-on home improvement training center, located inside Fair Oaks Mall. We help homeowners, DIYers, and beginners build the skills and confidence to take on real projects—not just watch someone else do them online.

From tile work and drywall repair to backsplash installation, power tools, plumbing basics, and minor electrical, each class is designed to help you understand the process, use the right tools, ask better questions, and feel more capable in your own home. With small class sizes, every participant receives hands-on instruction, direct access to the instructor, and the opportunity to practice skills in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. At TradeWorx Academy, our mission is simple: empower people with practical knowledge, help them save money on home projects, and give them the confidence that comes from learning how to do it the right way. Visit [www.TradeWorxAcademy.com](http://www.TradeWorxAcademy.com) to explore upcoming workshops, reserve your spot, and see why TradeWorx Academy is changing the way Northern Virginia learns DIY.
