On Jan. 23th 2010, I, along with my good friend Elise Counts, owner of Lovely You , celebrated life, love, motivation and inspiration when we honored five amazing women at our first annual Cancer Ball. The black tie event was held at the Crowne Plaza , in Somerset NJ. Our beautiful honorees included Dr. Hiawatha Goins Baron, DonnaLyn Giegerich, Amandalyn Mosby & Meg Mornhineway. Each woman was honored for their bravery, determination and their efforts as community ambassadors. Entertainment was provided by Miss Queen City, Nychole Hunt and featured U.S. Open singer Ja'Niel Humphrey. Motivational speaker and T.V. One host, Dee Marshell mesmerized the audience with her words of encouragement. It was an awe filled evening that brought out family, friends and pageant sisters alike. The highlight of the night for me was being able to speak about my beautiful courageous sister who loss her battle with Cancer, but who's legacy continues to live on. Proceeds from the night's event was raised for the American Cancer Society.
