Per Gith Public Relation’s agents, the purpose of this event was to raise awareness of children living with cancer and to help them survive one smile at a time. On this night, the event sought monetary, blood, and gift card donations to help Britticares with the programs that they offer to help sick children. The Good Life R&B Sensation Donnie Athens performed live at this event.
“BrittiCares feels the mission was accomplished, because we were able to create an awareness in regards to childhood cancer, the prevalence of the disease, the high demand for blood and marrow donors, the need for financial, emotional, and uplifting support, which are all accommodated by the programs and services provided by BrittiCares International.” Said Shirell Henderson, BrittiCares International Founder.
