As the sun goes down over Sugar Land and Katy, Texas, this Saturday,
Oct. 1, the soft pink lights and the live music will come up.
To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the MD Anderson regional care centers in Sugar Land and Katy will host free, family-friendly events at community venues well known for their great shops and restaurants.
The
teams from both regional care centers will be on hand at the events to
hand out free pink glow necklaces and other giveaways, greet visitors
and answer questions about breast cancer and MD Anderson in the
community.
In Sugar Land, the Plaza and fountain in Sugar Land Town Square will be awash in soft pink light while the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra
performs a free concert. In the spirit of the evening, the musicians
will wear pink and dedicate a special piece of music to honor survivors,
patients, caregivers, family members and those who have been lost to
breast cancer.
Out west, MD Anderson's Regional Care Center at Katy will light Heritage Square in LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch pink. Austin singer and songwriter Bekah Kelso will give a free performance of her "folk-hop gypsy" music, with the stage and seating area aglow in soft pink.
The
events each start about 7:00 p.m., so bring your lawn chairs or blanket
to listen to some great live music and then meet the teams from the
regional care centers.
MD Anderson's two other regional care centers in Bay Area and The Woodlands
will have their pink lighting events later in October. Watch Cancerwise
for more information on the events or become a fan of any or all of the
Facebook pages for the regional care centers in Bay Area, The Woodlands, Katy or Sugar Land.
