About Pinkie Blake The Pinkie Blake Charity Fundraising Event came about by a happenstance conversation between Heather Posey and myself (Dena Howard). While in the planning stages of Heather’s annual fashion show, we drifted into a discussion born out of frustration with the lack of knowledge in the community about 2 causes we are each passionate about. Heather’s grandmother had passed away the previous year from pancreatic cancer. She began to tell me of her grandmothers struggle with this disease and of the statistics related to pancreatic cancer. I was dumbstruck! I had no idea in such a developed nation as we live, that the mortality rate was 95% (From the National Library of Medicine). That figure is just staggering. Do you understand what this means? Only 5 people out of 100 will live. As she talked about the lack of knowledge related to pancreatic cancer, I could definitely relate. I had been dealing with trying to educate and increase awareness for a non-profit organization I have been involved with for over a year. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is an amazing charity that offers remembrance photography to families dealing with the loss of an infant. As the new Area Coordinator for our small tri-state area, I really wanted to raise awareness starting in my own community. I became involved with NILMDTS a little over a year ago as a way to give back a portion of what I have been so greatly blessed with but I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere. As a joint effort to raise awareness, we decided to organize a Charity Fashion Show with all proceeds going to the two charities we support – Cherokee County Relay For Life and Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. In honor of 2 very important people, Pinkie Emerson and Blake Shields, the name “Pinkie Blake” was born. While the Pinkie Blake Charity Fashion Show is a great opportunity for you to showcase your business, we cannot forget that our ultimate goal is to help the lives of people in our community. Your sponsorship will benefit members of your own community, sometimes in little ways that make a big difference, for example:    

(Relay for Life) Raise awareness about cancer (Relay for Life) Help fund research to facilitate in the treatment and a cure for cancer (Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep) Allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives by returning home from the hospital with beautiful heirloom portraits of their child (Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep) Educate and train photographers in remembrance photography so that every family has access to these services

Your help is greatly appreciated! For more information, see our website at www.PinkieBlake.com or by phone. Heather Posey ~ 828-837-1444 or Dena Howard ~ 828361-3877. Dena Howard, Area Coordinator for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Heather Posey, Owner of Rumors Clothing Loft & Accessories
