IT’S ALMOST HERE! THE PINK EVENT® 2012 AMAZES THIS SATURDAY

Annual women’s shopping expo features specialty vendors, speakers, entertainment, & prizes

Laurel, MD—The Pink Event® bursts onto the scene this Saturday, March 3, at the Holiday Inn in Laurel, Md., featuring specialized vendors and mini-inspirational sessions that promote women empowerment. 

The annual one-day expo (from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) will have 25 women-focused merchants, providing everything from wickless candles, jewelry, and stationary to clothes, hair care, accessories and anti-cellulite products. The first 75 attendees will receive a “pink swag bag” filled with gift certificates, coupons, and other goodies.

“Ladies, this event is designed to be your day for pampering, friendship, and fun,” says The Pink Event Founder Tamika Josephs-Smith. “We have combined a charitable mission with high-quality shopping for a winning event,” she says, noting the expo will equally donate 65 percent of ticket sales to the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the House of Ruth Maryland.

“Plus, our speakers bring food for thought about ways we can all improve and enhance our lives.” The Pink Event will have a full lineup of female experts throughout the day, including:

• Jennifer Lucy Tyler—author and faith-based speaker
• Vanessa Elam—image consultant and lifestyle coach
• Tiffany Moody—makeup artist
• Yolanda Woodlee—breast cancer survivor
• Belinda Prattis and Emily Mariner—volunteers for the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
• Adrian Fauntleroy and Kristine Olaes—volunteers for the House of Ruth Maryland

The Pink Event also will feature live performances from local-area, neo-soul singer Yorrelle, who will perform from her 2010 debut album, “Feels Like Love.” Learn more about the expo and buy early tickets for $15 each ($20 the day of the event) at www.thepinkevent.net.
