Breast Fest 2007

A Huge Success!

We’re sorry that not everyone was able to attend our annual Breast Fest because it was a party to remember! As you stepped into the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Chestnut Hill you were immediately overtaken by the incredible ambiance. One hundred guests attended and enjoyed filet mignon, a pasta bar and the most tantalizing hors d’oeuvres! Nothing beat the incredible homemade pastries donated and prepared by Susan Parnes. Not even a French pastry chef could have had a negative comment! Most guests couldn’t keep seated once the sounds of the Flamin’ Caucasians began. Fabulous baskets of goodies were offered in the silent auction and fish bowl raffle and it sure was fun to watch the expectant faces as the plasma TV winner was announced! Most guests enjoyed a sip or two of great wine or chocolate martinis provided by PINOT “everything but the grape”. Enjoy our pictures and gratitude to all who participated and donated to this year’s fundraiser.

BRC Fundraiser!

5K Walk and Family Fun Day!

The BRC needs grant funding, private donations and money from fundraisers to continue its “much needed” programs.




The 5K Walk and Family Fun Day was the first annual. We hope that the day of exercise, food, dancing, and fun activities will grow each year! If you missed the fun, look below for a glimpse of what you missed and plan to join us next year!

Stretching exercises before the walk were
led by Tricia Perez of One Fit Mama!



Face painting was enjoyed by many little ones!




A moonbounce kept the children happy along

Nail painting was a big hit!
