Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Tree Lighting 2012

Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Tree Lighting 2012

 

In honor of a family member we lost to breast cancer Theresa Irene Wolowski and Ryan Janek Wolowski, first lit this Kanzan tree in pink lights as a tribute to Maura Wolowski on 11-14-2010.

 

The theme of the first lighting in 2010 was breast cancer awareness.

 

After the tree was lit with pink mini holiday lights we said a prayer for Maura Wolowski and her surviving family members. She is still very much loved and not forgotten.

 

Please encourage the ones you love to have a screening for breast cancer.

 

During the holiday season we often gather and see family members. We are hoping this pink tree will make it easier and more likely that folks with be able to talk about breast cancer with their family members as well as their doctors.

 

for example..Hey did you hear Aunt Theresa did a pink tree on her front lawn? Really why? She made a

 

breast cancer awareness tree, instantly the whole room had an easy way to start talking about cancer, without it being a total downer and with early detection being your friend, we encourage everyone to get involved.

 

This tree is planted on Long Island New York where the cancer rate is very high.

 

The 2011 lighting took place on 11-12-2011 and was attended by Rich Wolowski, Theresa Irene Wolowski, Ryan Janek Wolowski, Girish Bhasin and John Erario. This years dedication was that of Cancer Recovery and we dedicated this to both Judy Wolowski and friend of the family Dorthy Phister who both were recently diagnosed with cancer. And with this early detection we are wishing them both a speedy recovery.

 

Talk about this with your loved ones and make sure to get checked regularly.

 

The theme of the second lighting in 2011 was cancer recovery

 

The lighting of 2012 took place on December 1st 2012, the tree was lit again to honor Maura Wolowski, Updates for Judy Wolowski, Theresa Irene Wolowski, Dotty Phister, Terry Vlahos, and to all wishing and working to live cancer free in wellness.

 

The theme of the third lighting in 2012 was wellness after cancer.
