“The VIPink weekend is the perfect opportunity for moms, daughters and girlfriends to enjoy a weekend of pampering and shopping with fabulous discounts and special events, all while raising funds and critical awareness about the importance of early cancer detection and education for young women everywhere,” says Shaun Swanger, Vice President, Marketing, Westfield.

Bright Pink is on a mission to reach the 52 million women in the US between the ages of 18-45 who have never been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer. These women have the power to be proactive - to reduce their risk for these diseases or detect them at an early, non-life-threatening stage.

 “Bright Pink is thrilled to be teaming up with Westfield once again to deliver our lifesaving message to shoppers throughout the country. The critical funds raised through VIPink weekend and VIPink card sales will fuel Bright Pink's education and support programs to empower young women to be proactive with their breast and ovarian health," said Bright Pink Founder and CEO, Lindsay Avner.

Along with the sale of $10 VIPink Cards, each Westfield shopping center will host special events throughout VIPink Weekend, including fitness classes, beauty treatments, a Mother’s Day gift wrapping booth, kids’ activities and more.
