Pink Reveal
09/09/2010 12/31/2010
Saintes Worlds’ journey toward, “The Pink Reveal” began in April of 2010. Saint Hilaire, Founder and Director, felt it was his duty as an artist to come up with a concept where he could incorporate substance and style to help save lives. Thus, the name, “The Pink Reveal”, was created.
Driven by the belief that individuals with breast cancer deserve this revitalizing experience, and that it would touch many lives, Saint Hilaire developed this concept in which an individual from the local community will be nominated to receive the Pink Reveal Experience. The Experience will help build momentum to continue in the fight against cancer, and help rejuvenate an individual’s self esteem via a day of pampering& relaxation, including a head-to-toe makeover after which their new selves will be “revealed” to their family and friends. The Pink Reveal Experience celebrates both inner & outer beauty, reminds the participants that they are appreciated in the community, and treasures their strength to beat this disease.
The event will consist of activities including a seminar featuring a motivational speaker, and a fashion trend segment featuring Saint Hilaire himself. Twenty percent of proceeds from this event will benefit the Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta Affiliate. Find Pink Reveal on Facebook and become a fan today!
