THE ROSE 20TH ANNUAL SHRIMP BOIL BRINGS IN A RECORD $85,000 FOR HOUSTON AREA WOMEN
More than 800 people attended Th Rose 20th Annual Shrimp Boil on August 8, raising a record $85,000 for The Rose, Houston’s leading non-profit breast cancer organization. Money from the Shrimp Boil will support The Rose’s Empower Her® Sponsorship Program which provides breast cancer detection services to those who cannot afford the costs of these potentially life saving procedures.
“We are so pleased that our community came out again to support The Rose in a big way,” said Kristi Brown, The Rose Special Events Coordinator. “With help from The Rose staff and businesses within the community, the live and silent auctions also set new records. This money will help save many women’s lives. Who could ask for more?”
This year, the Lite House Cooking Team, led by Eric Meeker, prepared all the shrimp, potatoes and corn for the event.
Brown was elated that more than 70 volunteers came out to help make the event a success, including groups and individuals who provided desserts and helped staff the beverage stations.
“Volunteers make this event a success every year,” Brown said. “I want to thank every single person who donated time, talent, and goods and services making this year’s Shrimp Boil the best we’ve had.”
The Grateful Geezers kept guests dancing from the moment the doors opened and the ever-favorite auctioneer Bear Hebert cajoled and cheered folks into live auction bids that wowed everyone and brought in an astonishing $14,275.
Brown also thanked members of the Shrimp Boil Planning Committee for all their hard work. Committee members were: Amy Rigsby, Brahana Howard, Christy Owen, Dessa Lambert, D'Etta Casto-DeLeon, Helen Perry, Janet Sadler, Jennifer Pruiett, Judy pareya, Karen Rigby, Kristi Brown, Marnie Morrison, Pam Lyle, Shirley Terry-Lopez and Suzanne Fisbeck.
Event sponsors included: Bayshore Medical Center, Precision Radiotherapy Center, Jim Niese, Coastal Plastic Surgery, Patrick and Dorothy Gibbons, Ward and Genette Parsons, John Phelps Insurance Agency, Bayway Lincoln Mercury,, Buffalo Flange, Inc., Karen Rigby, Casa Ole Deer Park - Turner Family, Bob and Elaine Domec in Memory of Kathy Domec El Hejjali, Oates Industries, Inc., FlexElement Texas, Inc., Mickey and Vivian Gilley, Buxton Interests, Inc., T & T Construction and Harris County Precinct Two – Sylvia R. Garcia, Commissioner.

Check out The Rose on KPRC Houston!
At 31 years old, Cindy Ayure learned she had stage 3 breast cancer.
"Everybody asks, 'Why me?' or 'That's not fair' or 'I don't want to die,'" said Ayure. "All those things kind of go through your head."
The mother of two has been through a year-long battle with her illness.
"I picked myself up, and I fought and I'm fighting," said Ayure. "I can safely say I haven't cried since that day."
But Ayure may have never learned she had cancer in time for treatment without the help of one local organization.
When Ayure first discovered a lump in her breast, a mammogram was too expensive. Even though she worked two jobs, she could not afford health insurance.
That's when a doctor referred her to The Rose, a local nonprofit that screens women for breast cancer regardless of their financial situation...

Stories of Hope
The Rose is embarking on a new project for our waiting room. We’d like to showcase breast cancer survivor photos and stories of hope in our waiting area to show women and men, who may be anxious, that breast cancer is not a death sentence. We are currently looking for breast cancer survivors who would like to be part of this special project.
All participants will be asked to come to The Rose for a 30 minute professional photo session. They may also bring any close family members who they would like to have their photo taken with (up to 5 additional people unless special permission is granted). CDs of the photos will be mailed to participants after their session.
If you or someone you know would like to be a part of this project, please e-mail Maggie Phillips at mphillips@therose.org or call 281.464.5151.
