"Pink Night raised almost $8000 – it was a great success with well over 100 people attending.  We had over 25 local businesses, including restaurants and caterers showing off yummy items from their menus. Live music all evening had toes tapping.  The 55 silent auction items kept the crowd hoping their last bid would end up being best.  The 28 different raffle items drew lots of attention as well.  Our ‘Pink Stage’ was graced with 5 different seminar speakers throughout the evening with presentations full of interest and information.

The Invincibelle Spirit Campaign is the perfect storm for a garden center.  Great Plant, great cause, great demographic.  It is easy to plan an event around a hydrangea.  Everyone loves hydrangeas – especially any non-white variety of hydrangea here in the north.  The cause you are supporting is extremely important to our core demographic.  It really is the perfect combination.  All the businesses and customers we spoke to about this event had in some way a story to tell about how breast cancer had affect their lives or someone dear to them.  Everyone was so generous and willing to donate to the evening.  Our staff was also extremely willing to go the extra mile for this cause and this event.  It was something they all truly believed in.  We will be doing Pink Night again!"

"Pink Day is a wonderful event and easily one of our favorite days of the year. From a business point of view, the best promotion we do is giving customers 10% off if they make a donation (any donation)...sales are quite high that day.

My favorite part of Pink Day is the way customers stop us to thank us for hosting the event. Over the four years that we have held Pink Day, we have heard so many stories – stories of courage – some have sad endings, some have wonderful happy endings. That is, by far, the best part of the day."
