They hope to excel and impact the community by:

• Helping improve quality of life for survivors

• Spread awareness to ladies through workshops, lectures and appearances
• Offering information on where to get tested and how to do self examinations
• Offering mammograms to low income/underprivileged ladies
• Participating at various community events to spread the word
• Letting survivors know there is a proactive life after treatment

This event will feature clothes from local Miami fashion designers. As a special treat the ladies of SOS will hit the runway to strut their stuff assisting in the launch of local Fashion Designer Marilyn Rumbaut. Pinks Rocks will have a cocktail hour, silent auction and fashion show.
