Why Pink
This year, we celebrate.
Thank you for taking the time to consider partnering with Why Pink for our Breast Health Awareness and Fundraising Campaign. Studies have shown that about 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Half of the women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are over 65 and there are cases of men being diagnosed with the disease as well. Treatment is available and early detection is the key to high survival rates. Why Pink has partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Kansas City Affiliate for our 2010 campaign.

June Portrait Session Donations
June 1, 2010
By: Trevor Goodwin
First, we would like to thank everyone that supported Why Pink and voted for us during the Pepsi Refresh Everything Campaign. We were not awarded one of the grants, but we learned a lot and it felt great reading all the comments people were leaving on our page. We wanted to start by saying thank you.
This month, we are going to give away 2 Why Pink Portrait Sessions as a way of saying thanks for all the support. We received our motivation from the Refresh Everything Campaign and our selection process will be similar to theirs. We will have a period of time for nominations to be made, we will select 6 finalists and then open the voting to the public to select the two winners! The winners will each receive a gift certificate for a Why Pink Portrait Session.
If you would like to nominate someone for one of these sessions, send us an email with information about them. Include an explanation of why you think they deserve the session, the more information the better. You can nominate anyone, a survivor, a supporter, a care taker or family member. To submit your nomination, send us an email that includes their name and your relationship to them. Share their story and remember the more information you are able to send, the better. Nominations must be submitted by June 12th.

Introducing Why Pink's 2010 Campaign
March 24, 2010
By: Trevor Goodwin
Amy and I are extremely excited to kick off our 2010 Why Pink Campaign! We have started our planning much earlier this year than we have in past years, and we plan on taking this momentum all the way through October. We are planning some great events for 2010 including the 3rd Annual Why Pink Fashion Show at the Haute Market on October 7. We have also secured the beautiful, historic Hemingway Gallery in the Crossroads Arts District to display Why Pink Images for the entire month of October. We will kick this gallery showing off with a First Friday event on October 1st, along with an after party you will not want to miss! We appreciate the support we have received over the past two years and have enjoyed taking pictures and getting to know everyone better. We look forward to making more lasting memories to our regular Why Pink customers and making new connections with first time customers this year. Take some time to review the website and stay tuned for more details about Why Pink.
"This year, we celebrate" is the slogan for the 2010 Why Pink Campaign. We wanted to take some time to explain the slogan and why it means so much to Amy and I. Why Pink started in 2008 from a simple idea; taking an image of tulips and changing everything else in the picture to black and white except the pink petals of the flowers. The pink tulips accomplished the goal of getting attention in contrast to the remainder of the image, but we had no idea the amount of attention that Why Pink would generate for breast health. We met some amazing people in 2008 and were happy to know that we helped make a difference. Shortly after we wrapped up the 2008 campaign, Laura Plunket a friend we met through Why Pink, passed away. We dedicated the Why Pink 2009 Campaign to Laura's memory, and committed to pass her message on to as many people as possible. Everything we did in our 2009 Campaign was to pay tribute to Laura and remind everyone to be thankful for even the little blessings in our lives. In 2010, Why Pink will celebrate all of the survivors, everyone fighting and winning, and the memories of those who are no longer with us. We will raise more money than the previous 2 years combined. We will make new friends and take many fun, moving images. In 2010, Why Pink will party, and celebrate... celebrate with us!
