WHY TICKLED PINK
Tickled Pink is the American Cancer Society’s premier fundraising luncheon honoring prominent Houstonians in the Greater Houston area who have made significant contributions to our community. The afternoon will highlight the incredible accomplishments of these pioneering individuals. Additionally, the afternoon will feature a VIP Reception and memorable moment from our keynote speaker 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 $71 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.
