Lagos marked the
beginning of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month with the GO
Pink Charity Event in
partnership with Optimal Cancer Care Foundation. The opulent
surroundings of The Grand Ball Room, with its pink crystal decoration
created the perfect backdrop for the glitzy event.
Nollywood

Doyle was the hostess for
the evening, accompanied by the delectable Mofe
Duncan. Guests at the
star studded event enjoyed a phenomenal evening of great
entertainment and superb food with the incomparable Omawunmi,
delighting the audience
with her energetic live performance.
Along
with the dinner, the evening included a fundraising event, conducted
by celebrated Nollywood Actress, Funke
Akindele. The fundraiser
raised money for the purchase of medical equipment to aid the early
detection of breast cancer. Funds were also raised to provide women
with free screening services at their local Optimal Cancer centers.
‘’We are absolutely honoured to
have been asked by Optimal Cancer Foundation to support this very
worthy cause.” said Karl Hala, Regional General Manager,

“The
event has provided increased awareness about cancer screening, early
detection and treatment. The evening has also provided us with the
opportunity to celebrate the remarkable survivors of this disease who
were extremely brave in sharing their stories with us” Hala
continued.
