Boulder City Goes Passionately Pink for the Cure

The Clean Green, Oasis in the Desert Turned Pink

On Friday, October 23, 2010, Boulder City went Passionately Pink for the Cure®! For the 3rd year in a row, Boulder City, NV, also known as the clean, green oasis in the desert, turned pink in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Driving through the quaint, beautiful town, the message was clear as the streets were lined with pink ribbons.

Local businesses, including Curves of Boulder City, BC Florist and Grandma Daisy's, showed their support by competing in a pink window decorating contest. The Boulder City Chamber of Commerce sold t-shirts and box lunches to raise funds.

At noon, special guest Paula Frances of Channel 8 News arrived and a group photo was taken on the steps of City Hall. A presentation followed featuring Boulder City resident and Survivor, Joyce DiMano, and then it was over to Bicentennial Park where a human pink ribbon photo was taken.

The festivites didn't end there. That evening a bicycle and motorcycle scavenger hunt took place throughout the town.

The event was a success and once again, Boulder City showed it's true passion for pink.

Komen Southern Nevada would like to thank the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce and Jill Lagan, whose hard work makes this event a success year after year.
