Think Before you Pink!

Four weeks away from the concert, and we are doing fine. We've got our MC of the night, Ciarán Bermingham, which many of you may know because of his comedic acting career. More about him in another post.
The accompanist is Deirdre Long, another talented product of the school of music in Cork.
The tickets will be printed in two days,so beware, because I won't let go of you until I've sold them all.
The posters will be up soon, one version is a Milo-designed one, the other is mine, less cool, but it does the trick.
I have created an event on Facebook, and I hope that will be shared and spread among the Facebookers.

The money raised will go to Action Breast Cancer. I fully support what they do, but I have a few tips for you. Don't buy just anything that's pink with a ribbon on it. First of all check how much of your money will actually realy go to Action Breast Cancer.
Then check if the company that'supports' Action Breast Cancer, doesn't actually produce products that may cause breast cancer.
An example of this was the pink Kentucky Fried Chicken boxes ( in the USA). No need to explain why deep fried chicken nuggets with chips are not exactly the best foods to prevent breast cancer.
A good resource for this is the Breast Cancer Action Website. It is an American website created by breast cancer survivors who investigate and take action.
At the moment BCA is campaining against 'we support breast cancer'-pink bottles for alcoholic drinks...again, I don't think this needs explaining.

I would really love to see a site like this started in Europe. If anyone is interested in starting one up, I would be very eager to talk about it.
The best way to support Action Breast Cancer is to go to events like this concert, where all the money goes straight to the charity, or by buying pink ribbons from volunteers, or donating , which you can do on this website of the Irish Cancer Society.
As they say in Breast Cancer Action: Think Before you Pink!

I will be selling pink ribons on the 8th of October in South Main Street in Bandon
