Are you Tough Enough to Wear Pink? - Sept. 19 at NM State Fair

The American Cancer Society and the New Mexico State Fair-Expo NM are partnering up to bring you the 2009 Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo. This event gives an outlet to the western community to aid in the fight against breast cancer. Locally, Tough Enough to Wear Pink is in its third year and has almost raised $5,000 with over 500 spectators in attendance. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. In New Mexico alone, almost 1,000 women will be diagnosed with the disease while almost 200 will die this year. Thanks to early detection, the death rate from breast cancer is beginning to decline and we need your support to keep the momentum to find a cure.

So, please join us September 19, 2009 at 7:00 pm at Expo NM for the 2009 Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo. Admission to the rodeo also includes a concert by Diamond Rio. There will be an auction benefiting the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event during the transition between the rodeo and the concert. Also, Tough Enough to Wear Pink regalia will be available for purchase during the rodeo, along with free breast cancer information provided by your local American Cancer Society.
