WESTFIELD – Fans of Katy Perry have an opportunity to add a guitar signed by the pop star to their collection of fan items and help local breast cancer patients at the same time thanks to a raffle offered by the members of Pink Women Around You (PinkWAY).
PinkWAY is an organization of breast cancer survivors dedicated to supporting the Center for Comprehensive Breast Health at Noble Hospital and the patients who rely on the facility for treatment.
Members of the group are promoting a raffle which offers as the first prize a guitar autographed by recording artist Katy Perry. Tickets are available at the Noble Hospital office of the center, officer manager Lois Menard said.
Menard said that PinkWAY not only supports the programs at the center but also offers assistance to “any patient who has financial hardship” and is often used to help patients buy supplies such as wigs or prostheses.
The winning ticket for the Katy Perry raffle prize will be drawn at an Oct. 12 dinner dance which will be staged to raise funds for PinkWAY at the Gremio Lusitano Club at 385 Windsor St., Ludlow, starting at 4 p.m.
More information about the event and the raffle may be obtained from Menard at the center’s office (572 6070) or from members and organizers Maureen Ender (351-6825), Leonor Salvador (530-2972) or Robyn Hersey (455-3377).
