#TurksandCaicos, January 24, 2018 – Providenciales – Everyone agrees that the 2017 installment of the In the Pink Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser meant more to the Turks and Caicos than it likely ever has… it helped to interrupt the momentum of sorrow so many were feeling in the aftermath of destructive hurricanes Irma and Maria as it reminded us that we are a community still willing and blessed enough to link hearts and hands to be a support to those living with cancer… and yet, In the Pink did more…

“Last year was a typically hard year for everyone in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and particularly the school children, and so we just worried that maybe we can outreach a little bit stronger, a little bit further and do something more,” said Karen Whitt.

“The community supported this in an unbelievable way and that’s really why we are able to do what we are doing today, because of our corporate donors, our patrons in the community who supported the event so well, and I am very happy to say last year’s event was a record crowd, so people really did turn out to support the cause and we’re just very thankful to be here today and happy to be donating to the students,” she further added.

Every government primary school child in the Turks and Caicos was able to get a gift thanks to the largest ever turn out for in the Pink held at the Palms Resort; the resort which is managed by Karen Whitt who is also the founder of In the Pink TCI.  Karen Whitt shared that just over $50,000 was raised.  And the In the Pink ladies were fanning out to the other schools with the bags laden with sensible and fun stuff for the thousands of children across the TCI.

The other half of the $50 grand went to the National Cancer Society of the Turks and Caicos.
