Seymour Pink board, supporters celebrate special day

SEYMOUR - Wednesday was the sixth annual Seymour Pink Day and residents and friends celebrated in many pink-themed ways.
Resident Mary Deming founded Seymour Pink, Inc., a community's fight against breast cancer, in memory of her mother who died at age 55 from the disease. 

The day culminated with a party at Hot Tamale Mexican Grill and Bar at Seybridge Plaza attended by board members, breast cancer survivors, and supporters.

The nonprofit will receive 20 percent of the restaurant's sales from Wednesday.

This beautiful quilt created out of team T-shirts from last year's Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K run/walk was a raffle prize at the party.  

My daughter and I attended the event, and as a breast cancer survivor I felt the warmth and caring of board members and other volunteers. 

Thank you all for everything you do to make this journey easier! The support means a lot.

The restaurant's tables were decorated with pink roses and ribbons. So pretty!
