WHY TICKLED PINK
Tickled Pink is the American Cancer Society’s premier fundraising luncheon honoring prominent women in the Greater Houston area who have made significant contributions to our community. We are thrilled to announce our 2021 Tickled Pink Honorees – Kelli Cohen Fein, Adele Hartland, Cora Sue Mach, Kristina Somerville, and Elizabeth Stein! The afternoon will highlight the incredible accomplishments of these pioneering women. Additionally, the afternoon will feature a VIP Reception and memorable moment from our keynote speaker, Elin Hilderbrand, who will share her message of HOPE.
Where The Money Goes
Money raised by Tickled Pink will provide vital funds to support patient programs and assist with funding the $64 million in breast cancer research that the American Cancer Society funds annually. In addition to research, the American Cancer Society helps nearly 1 million people touched by cancer each year get the help they need, when and where they need it.
ACS helps patients and their families with their most pressing needs: getting rides to life-saving treatment, navigating the health care system, and dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The funds raised through this event could provide 10,000 rides, 5,000 wigs to patients, or 2,500 nights of free lodging for a patient and their caregiver at Hope Lodge Houston, opening 2021, when traveling away from home for treatment.
