For almost 20 years, we have been painting the town pink – all to support the Mary Kay Ash Foundation’s two-fold mission of funding research to cure cancers affecting women and ending domestic violence against women. We come together from across the city, across the state, and across the country. It’s because we show up for each other. We’re moving and empowering women. And giving back is in our DNA.
