FIGHTING FOR WOMEN WITH FASHION Not only were we one of the sponsors of this 6th annual fashion show and silent auction in 2017, which benefits victims of domestic violence, Drs. Bryan and Kara Criswell walked in the fashion show in 2016 as well! Over the last five years, this event has raised more than $180,000 for the Safe Alliance Clyde and Ethel Dickson Domestic Violence Shelter. LEARN MORE SUSAN G. KOMEN CHARLOTTE RACE FOR THE CURE Every year, to honor courageous breast cancer survivors, including some of our own patients, we gather a team of walkers for the Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure. Our team proudly wears t-shirts printed with the statement, “We Will Make You New Ones,” providing a bit of much-needed levity and comfort to the topic of breast cancer reconstructive surgery. (You can purchase this tee at either Criswell office.) For more information, visit the Susan G. Komen website. CAROLINA BREAST FRIENDS PINK BOOTS BALL Our very own Dr. Kara Criswell was the keynote speaker for the 7th Annual Pink Boots Ball, in Charlotte, which featured dinner, auctions, live music, and dancing. The proceeds of this event were to benefit Carolina Breast Friends, a non-profit organization committed to helping women with breast cancer in all stages of survival. This sold-out event showcased an encore dance performance by Clair Campbell and Pasha Antanovich, the 2016 Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte for the Pink House Judge Choice Award Winners. KOMEN In the 1980’s, Susan G. Komen was founded, launching the breast cancer movement, along with the well-known “Race for the Cure” series. This group has the brave goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer death by 60% by 2026. The advances in treatment since Komen was founded have come about through the hard work and dedication of community members, sponsors, corporations, and regular people who have had their lives impacted by breast cancer. We support Komen and invite you to participate! BALLANTYNE RALLY Rally is an organization that focuses engaging the community to participate in supporting cancer research. The grassroots movement uses golf, tennis, and a range of social programs to raise $80 million for breast cancer research and local programs, and provides those who want to participate with resources such as fundraising ideas and a “how to” guide to create a local event.
