Tickled Pink

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA - Delta. We told you she was coming to party with us at Tickled Pink, and party she did. We owe that all to Barb Richards from local radio station Majic 95.1 FM . We are so blessed to have Barb in our corner, she has never let us down. (You can read about Barb in this year’s Foundation: The Vera Bradley for Breast Cancer Magazine.) Now let me tell you about this Delta. Simply put, she is breathtaking. Everyone who has her new CD Delta knows she is not only beautiful but also talented. The fact that those things are just the surface is what really puts everything into perspective. She is a cancer survivor, and her mama has just completed treatment as well. She has come through so many trials in her life and still radiates joy and happiness - just a shining example of how we all should face adversity. That being said, she was a great element of the Tickled Pink party, putting on a moving performance. Another memorable moment of the evening was when our sweet friend Carolyn from Skate for Hope presented a check to the Foundation. And the Foundation also presented a check to the IU Simon Cancer Center staff. Now that my job entails attending fundraising events about once per week or more, I think I'm speaking from a position of authority when I say this one was tops! (You can check out more photos in our Tickled Pink 2008 album on Flickr to see what I mean.) I already can't wait for next year's party!
