Roswell Park Cancer Institute has an established relationship with the college I attend, University at Buffalo. They have an alliance with UB that helps graduate students to obtain more training in the medical field as well as internship opportunities for undergraduates. Roswell Park has a well-respected reputation in the Buffalo area and some very active community members that support their cause. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Star 102.5 sponsored The Pink Party: Cupcakes and Cocktails fundraiser on behalf of Roswell Park at The Statler City Hotel. I was lucky enough to attend the event and would encourage everyone to buy tickets next year and support their efforts. The turn out was fantastic! There was a wine and specialty beverage tasting, cupcake sampling, basket raffles, boutique shopping, Tony Walker & Co fashion show, and an intimate Five for Fighting concert. Besides enjoying the delicious food, drinks, and entertainment, I also learned about the trends that you can expect to see at Tony Walker & Co for the fall and winter months ahead:
1) Leather Jackets
2) Distressed Jeans
3) Ankle Booties
4) Destroyed Tops
5) Cropped Sweaters
6) Maxi Dresses
7) Tribal Print
8) Bubble Jackets
9) Headphone Drawstring Hoodies
10) Asymmetrical Skirts
It was difficult to take photos of the models in the pink tinted lights, but the colorful atmosphere really added to the experience.
To further support local Breast Cancer research make sure to attend the Shoptober event on Elmwood, October 24th from 5-9. 15% of your purchases at participating businesses will benefit America’s Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
