“ Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a celebration of courage and hope . We remember those lost to breast cancer and celebrate the survivors and thrivers . Breast cancer has touched all of us in some way , and it is truly uplifting to see the support for this cause expressed by Latitude Margaritaville residents . It is truly hands across all Latitude Margaritaville communities ,” notes Lifestyle Director Ramona Ward .
Ramona and the Latitude Margaritaville Ambassadors of Fun joined with residents in creating a full roster of fun events for the month . Everyone got involved . “ Even the men got to bling out a bra and wear it over their shirts for the Bling Your Bra event to show their support ,” she laughs .
“ What started as a week-long event now has grown into a full month-long event when our wonderful residents embrace the color pink and participate in a roster of fun , flirty and fantastic fund-raising events .”
In addition to educational seminars on breast health and Breast Cancer Recovery in Action ( BRA ), there was a whole host of creatively named events . They included Walks for Pink and competitions dubbed Dink for Pink ( pickleball ), Sink for Pink ( cornhole and golf ), Toss for Tatas ( cornhole ) and Bocce for Boobies . The League of Their Own women ’ s Fins Ball team also played a special game to support the cause .
An array of tasting events included a Pretty in Pink Cork & Fork featuring wines from estates that support women ’ s causes , Bra-tini vodka tastings , a Sip & Shop for a Cause . Other events included Pink Warrior Bingo , bake sales , silent auctions and more .
