Pink Tie Affair to Benefit Budway Foundation and Breast Cancer Survivors

Monday, February 25, 2008

A PINK TIE AFFAIR
Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for all women and the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55, with approximately one in nine women developing the disease in her lifetime. Both its cause and the means for its cure remain undiscovered. Increased awareness means more survivors.

The Pink Tie Affair event is an effort to raise the awareness and help a few of our fellow sisters in the Pittsburgh area. The thought of having this type of event was started by Terry DiBattista in an effort to help some of her dearest friends who are coping with the mental, physical and financial issues that accompany this disease.

The Pink Tie Affair will be held on:

April 26th, 2008 at the Double Tree Hotel located at 8402 University Boulevard in Moon Township, PA. from 7pm to 1am. The ticket price includes hors d’ oeuvres, desserts and a drink coupon. There will be live entertainment by local jazz performers, Lisa Ferraro and Antoinette Manganas. In addition, DJ Adele will be there to ensure those that want to dance the night away will have the ability to do so. Two round trip air fares to Chicago and a 2 night stay at Hotel Indigo Chicago Gold Coast will be given away as a door prize. There will be a Chinese auction where you will have the opportunity to win great prizes as well. We are committed to raising $15,000 and we are asking you to make a commitment as well. Please consider making a tax-deductable donation to help us achieve this goal.

To purchase tickets send check or money order to:
PTA Fund
Judi Albert
122 Homer Circle
McKees Rocks, PA 15136


The proceeds will benefit local Breast Cancer Survivors in our community & The Budway Foundation. Raye Budway is a surgeon at West Penn Hospital who lost her mother several years ago to breast cancer. Raye started a fund through West Penn Hospital and dedicated it to her mother. The Foundation is called the Loretta Budway Breast Cancer Care Fund and it supports local women who are struggling financially. Donations are tax deductable #25-0969492.

Will the Real Techno Granny Please Stand?

Who is Techno Granny? No she is not, the Techno Granny from Bulgaria who dances with a cane to Techno Music. Although I have thought that I should hook up with her because she has become quite a cult figure. Techno Granny is also not a geek, just a grandmother who is trying to get over her fear of technology and take baby boomers and others with her. The Techno Granny Show is hosted on Talk Shoe network every Monday at 7 AM EST.
See: www.technogrannyshow.blogspot.com

She is also a Pittsburgher who has a longstanding love affair with her home city, Pittsburgh, and is establishing a resource for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the USA. She is also a person who is sick of hearing how many people were shot, killed, raped, how many kids were molested and who stole what, so she focuses on Positive News about her beloved city in a show called, Positively Pittsburgh Live, 7 PM EST every Monday.
See: www.PositivelyPittsburghLive.blogspot.com

She is also the author of a Ning social network and forum for Positive Pittsburghers at www.pospittlive.ning.com

Positively Pittsburgh Live has become popular enough in Pittsburgh area that in April of 2008, there will be an on-line Community Magazine at: PositivelyPittsburghLiveMagazine.com. This site will allow Pittsburgh to post positive content, schedules articles, and will also provide Internet Radio and TV for pod cast hosting of the wonderful TalkShoe Podcasts and other audio content and also allow videos.

"Celebrate and Share"
Announces
Pittsburgh's 2008 Women of Achievement Honorees

Pittsburgh, PA - February 25, 2008

Twenty-three of Pittsburgh's most notable women will be acknowledged for their accomplishments and contributions to the City of Pittsburgh at the Third Annual Celebrate & Share, Women of Achievement Awards Breakfast on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 at The Rivers Club in downtown Pittsburgh.

District Attorney, Stephen A. Zappala, Jr. and wife Mary Zappala will Co-Chair the third annual event, which is traditionally held every March in observance of Women's History Month. Cribs for Kids® was founded in 1998 by Pittsburgh District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., the late Mayor Bob O'Connor, the late Commander Gwen Elliott, and SIDS of PA Executive Director, Judith Bannon.

Celebrate & Share, an organization founded by Bonnie DiCarlo and JoAnn R. Forrester in 2002,
features the achievements of women, and raises funds for organizations which focus on the needs of women and children in the community. The Women of Achievement Awards Breakfast was established in March during Women's History Month to honor the women of Pittsburgh who contribute so much to our community. This year will feature a special tribute to Women of Achievement past and present in honor of the city of Pittsburgh's 250th Anniversary Celebration.

Cribs for Kids® will be the beneficiary of the proceeds of the 2008 Women of Achievement Breakfast. They were chosen due to their commitment to reducing the incidence of SIDS by supplying cribs for infants and educating parents about practicing safe sleep for their babies. Since the beginning of the campaign that recommends infants sleep on their backs - the "Back to Sleep" campaign - the incidence of SIDS has been cut in half.

Letter from Miracles from Marissa Songstress

MIRACLES FOR MARISSA

Have you ever wondered about the families that we put our money in the donation jars for? We stand in line at the check out and put our change in from our bill. Did you ever stop to think of how you are helping someone?

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Loren Webb in Carol Carmichael’s Carol’s Restaurant in Pittsburgh’s Historic West End. The Webb family moved to Pittsburgh from Kansas for their daughter Marissa to get treatment at our Children’s Hospital and Children’s Institute.

Marissa has spina bifida and has had forty one surgeries and has five heart defects. The family

As Christmas was approaching Carol wanted to get Marissa’s and her sister McKayla each a gift. As a girl her age you would have expected a wish for clothes, an I-pod etc. She immediately said, ”Our family could really use a new stove!” This is how wonderful the whole family is! They give unselfishly to always care for each other and to help their wonderful Marissa.

Carol’s son-in-law Dennis called Bodnar’s Appliance Store. They offered a very generous discount. Dennis’s place of business purchased the stove for them. They also donated money for Christmas gifts! What wonderful people he works for! Pittsburgher’s always come together when someone needs help! Carol was able to have the stove delivered and installed while they were at the hospital. When Marissa’s mother Mandy got home she called Carol and shouted, “SANTA WAS HERE!” They were so happy!

We recently got a few local musicians, Joe Fairweather, trumpet and vocals,
Zach Hudson, all original acoustic guitar music and vocals, and Char Carr, vocals,
to come for an open jam at Carol’s. We were able to raise $467.00 in just a few hours. We will continue to do so Friday’s 6pm-10pm. Our goal is to raise money for the installation of hardwood floors in their home. Marissa needs a smooth surface to be able to practice walking. Their home has wall to wall carpeting making it difficult to do so. We would like to see if it is possible to have a parade for her though the West End.
There are many new shops and the main street has really been revitalized.

Please stop into Carol’s anytime for a delicious meal! Marissa stops by often. She will brighten your day when you meet her! Have a heart, help be a part of Miracles for Marissa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stopped into Carol’s Restaurant and she adopted them. They have no relatives here to help them or even just to talk to. Marissa was in the hospital for nine weeks over the holidays. Carol took Thanksgiving dinner and all the trimmings to the hospital for her and her family!
