The 5th annual Pretty in Pink Fashion show raised $12,000 for the Women\u2019s Cancer Coalition this year\u2013 $2,000 more than its initial goal of $10,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had attendance of over 200 people. It was definitely our largest crowd in the five years we\u2019ve been putting it on,\u201d said event organizer Tiffani Waters.<\/p>\n

The show itself was also longer, she noted, and in addition to the latest fall style trends, it featured home fashions and a fashion advice segment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also had a live auction that went amazing. All the items were donated, and had everything from a quilt donated by the Cortez Quilters to a pink breast cancer awareness handgun,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

All funds raised go to the Women\u2019s Cancer Coalition of Montezuma and Dolores Counties, which assist local women with financial assistance towards regular reproductive screenings and costs related to reproductive cancer.<\/p>\n

Waters, who is on the board of the local Cancer Coalition, says she and other organizers are happy with the funds raised but an equally important aspect of the fundraiser is education.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re raising money for the Women\u2019s Cancer Coalition, but we\u2019re also raising education and letting people know that there is an organization out there that helps local women which is just as important,\u201d Waters said. \u201cIt\u2019s really cool to see where it\u2019s been and where it\u2019s going. We\u2019re already planning for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
