Tickled Pink 2008






My dear friend Kimberly works for Vera Bradley, which is not only an elite handbag company, but also quite an advocate for the the research of breast cancer.

Tickled Pink is a ladies night out/silent auction event Vera Bradley puts on every year in order to raise money for breast cancer research. Kim gave me the opportunity to volunteer at the event, and I'm so glad I was in town for it this year.

It was a spectacular evening! Vera Bradley does not skimp on anything from aesthetics to food and drinks to decor. Kim was in charge of decorating for the entire event. Everything was just beautiful and so perfect. The picture is only a glimpse of all she put together. She is so talented and has quite an eye for detail.

An obvious highlight of the evening was the announcement that the foundation has raised over one million dollars this year! How wonderful!!

Another highlight was the entertainment of Delta Goodrem. She is a cancer survivor, and her mother battles breast cancer. Delta is THE pop star in Australia. It was a treat to see such a celebrity at a small venue in Indiana of all places. And what was so neat was that she (and her fiance) were genuinely happy to be there and had a great time. She is absolutely gorgeous, totally flawless, and every woman in the room wanted to look like her.

It was such a fantastic evening with such purpose. Thanks, Kim for giving me the opportunity to be there!
