PINK CARES

PINK is committed to giving back to women and girls in our communities. At each PINK conference, we'll hold a live drawings for prizes, with 100 percent of the proceeds to benefit women-related charities. Since 2005, we've raised more than $60,000 for Girls Incorporated (girls-inc.org) and Dress for Success(dressforsuccess.org).

Proceeds from this year's drawings will benefit the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement.
