Authentic Contemporary Art Supports Raw Beauty: Fashion Experience: A Breast Cancer Community Outreach Initiative@ National Harbor, Sept. 26th!

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Authentic Contemporary Art will be donating artwork in support of Atikal Foundation’s 2010 Raw Beauty Fashion: Experience Breast Cancer Initiative celebration, Sunday, September 26, 2010 at the National Harbor Sunset Room, National Harbor Maryland.

Guests will experience an unforgettable evening of fashions from local couture designers as Kenny Flanagan, Kas Collection, Inc., hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and entertainment, all while celebrating and honoring breast cancer survivors.

This evening will prove to be an inspiring and memorable way to raise awareness about breast cancer in young men and women, celebrate our survivors, and raise funds for local programs, allowing us to continue providing critical programming in the Washington, DC Metro Area.

The Raw Beauty Breast Cancer Initiative is dedicated to the critical issues unique to young men & women and breast cancer. No one diagnosed under 40 should be left in the dark about breast cancer. The Raw Beauty initiative includes quarterly educational programs to help young people learn about the importance of breast self-exams and early detection; and provide screenings and diagnosis for uninsured and under-insured men and women, in collaboration with the program’s Clinical Partner, Dr. Regina Hampton, of Signature Breast Care, in Lanham, MD.
