St. James CWL held its 14th annual Pink Night Oct. 15, in support of the Breast Health Centre in Saskatoon.
When the doors opened at 6:15 p.m., the crowd poured in and the basement of the church was filled to capacity in a sea of pink.
Each year donations from individuals and the business community are greatly appreciated and the generosity shown is overwhelming. This year was no exception with tables filled with door prizes and silent auction items.
The guest speaker for the evening was Mary Ellen Herzog, a St. James CWL member and resident of Wilkie. With emotion and great strength, she told her story to an attentive crowd of young girls, mothers and grandmothers. Herzog left an impression of strength with the support she has received from family and friends from the first day of her diagnosis. With that strength, she will look forward to each day ahead for healing and good health.
The evening guests enjoyed a lunch of appetizers, fruit and sweets.
The success of the event is due to everyone involved.
As a result of the generous support, a donation of $3,700 was made to the Breast Cancer Centre. St. James CWL has donated approximately $24,000 to the centre in the past 14 years.
