You Can Thrive! Burlesque Show Celebrates the Girls and the Women Who Are Battling to Keep Them

Second Annual Surviving to Thriving Breast Fest Burlesque Show & Auction to be Held October 26th at Don Hill's in SoHo, New York

For the second year in a row, survivors and generous souls alike will gather to celebrate 'the girls' at the Surviving to Thriving Breast Fest Burlesque Show and Auction supporting the You Can Thrive! Foundation (YCT). The event, including an unconventional burlesque show, silent auction and raffle, will take place on Monday, October 26th from 7 to 11 p.m. at Don Hill's in SoHo (511 Greenwich Street, NY).
All proceeds from the fun carnivale fundraiser go to provide free mind/body wellness programs to breast cancer survivors in the New York City area. The show includes performances by top burlesque acts and the debut of the sure-to-be-sexy Surviving to Thriving Dance Troupe consisting of YCT clients past and present. Project Runway designer-contestant Epperson and honorary event chair Marisa Acocella Marchetto, author of Cancer Vixen, will be in attendance.
“You Can Thrive has been blessed with a wealth of love and support from our community, and will continue to help countless more women thrive in the year to come thanks in large part to the success of the Breast Fest,” says YCT President & Founder Luana Halpern, who is a breast cancer survivor herself.
Guests will enjoy an open bar from 7 to 9 pm sponsored by Domaine de Canton liqueur with hors d'oeuvres by J. Kings Food Service Professionals and sweets from Whole Foods. Raffle and silent auction sponsors include: Emerson Resort & Spa, Daisy Rock Guitars, Black Pearls, TheLuxurySpot.com, Arrojo Studio, Young Living Oils, Elizabeth Arden, Scuderia Restaurant, Ritter Sport and many others.
