One of the causes very close to my heart is that of breast
cancer research. Reason is that many in my family has had an experience with
breast cancer, so I'm always grateful when celebrities do their part for breast
cancer awareness and research. Music-new reports singer Pink will treat fans to an
acoustic set this month to raise funds for cancer research. The singer is working
with Providence Saint John's Health Center and John Wayne Cancer Institute on
an initiative called The Power of Pink. And she'll be performing at the House
of Blues in Los Angeles on 23 October. "The Power of Pink fundraiser was
created to recognize and celebrate the strength of women who battle and beat
breast cancer daily," reads an online statement from event organizers. Net
proceeds from The Power of Pink event will benefit the Cancer Prevention
Program at the Margie Petersen Breast Center at Providence Saint John's Health
Center, 'where dedicated specialists offer a compassionate and comprehensive
approach to breast care,' according to a spokesperson. Pink's new album,
You+Me, is meanwhile scheduled for release mid-October. She'll be performing some
of her new tracks at the benefit, according to E! News. The singer is
passionate about reaching fans with cancer and doing what she can to touch
their lives. Last year she spoke about an emotional moment she shared while on
the Australian leg of her The Truth About Love Tour. "The coolest thing
happened the other night," she told Australian radio show hosts Kyle and
Jackie O last August. "I read about this kid, Calvin, who had just beaten
cancer, had Down syndrome, who was there; my album had got him through his
treatment. And his mom wrote this letter to me and I read it, so at the
beginning of So What I know that I'm going straight out to the back. I flew out
[on a trapeze] and said, 'I'm coming for you Calvin!' And I just happened to
stop right over the wheelchair section and the mom just started sobbing. I
started crying, he was excited; it will go down in history as one of the most
amazing moments in my life."
