Come Help Us Paint Tybee Pink!
April 16th, 2012
You’ll love the beautiful pink colors of our Tybee sunrises and sunsets and now you can even help Paint Tybee Pink!
On May 5th, come enjoy an afternoon into evening 10K walk in beautiful Tybee Island (5k option available as well)! There will even be a Sunset Ceremony at Fisherman’s Walk pier, then each walker will receive a pink glow stick and will travel the last mile along the beach (optional). The walk will finish at the Tybee Pier and Pavilion with a Celebration of Life Party complete with TropRock artist Jim Asbell playing on the Pier!
There’s a $50 registration fee with no fund raising minimum and anyone who raises at least $500 will get their registration fee waived!! Fund raising is the lifeblood of any charitable organization, so fund raising and sponsorships are strongly encouraged to help make a bigger impact on the cancer community in Coastal Georgia! The event also needs crew members to come out and help the walkers along their journey, so if you can’t walk, please consider volunteering as a crew member. 
Proceeds from Paint Tybee Pink will be specifically set up to provide direct assistance to patients battling breast cancer. Many of these worthy recipients may be hourly workers who have to take time off from their job for surgery, recovery, and follow up treatment. This sometimes puts them in a circumstance where not enough income is there to cover their monthly obligations. Breast cancer patients fighting for their lives against this disease do not need the added stress of worrying about financial obligations they were able to meet before breast cancer struck!
Proceeds from this walk will benefit LibLines Breast Cancer Fund at the Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute of Memorial University Medical Center, Savannah, GA. Come join us and let’s Paint Tybee Pink! Give me a call and I’ll help you choose just the right beach house or condo, so you’ll be close to the action!
