I recently attended Tickled Pink, an annual fundraiser for Bright Pink, and had a great time! Bright Pink, the organization whom the proceeds of the event went to, is the only national non-profit organization that focuses on early prevention and detection. They were celebrating their 15th year of generating awareness about breast cancer. The event consisted of drinks, food stations, live music, dancing, and raffle prizes.
About Tickled Pink
Tickled Pink was started 15 years ago by Jodi Fyfe in honor of her cousin who passed away from breast cancer. The first event held raised $35,000! Since then Tickled Pink continues to be one of the most popular annual fundraiser events in Chicago. This year the event was held at Rockwell on the River.
The Food and Drinks
The event consisted of an open bar for guests. There was many options to choose from, however my favorite was the specialty drink: The Tickle Tini. I believe it was vodka, sparkling rose, and cranberry juice. Regardless, it was really good! There were also food stations set up, wrapping around the event space. Popular Chicago restaurants such as Barrio, Bar Ramone, Cindy’s, Joe’s Imports, Gene & Georgetti, XO Marshmallow, JoJo’s Milk Bar, and more were there with samples of food.
The Entertainment
For the first half of the event there was a DJ playing a mix of different music. But for the second half the crowd really came alive dancing to live music by The Chicago Players. They were really good! Amazing voices and even better dance moves. I had a lot of fun dancing on the floor!
My Pink Romper
Gotta throw in a shout out to my new favorite romper! I wore a glittery pink pleated romper to the event to go along with the pink theme. You can find it HERE at Nordstrom’s.
