The Annual Power of Pink Luncheon & Fashion Show benefits The Lee Lott Breast Health Fund and Women’s Services at Decatur Morgan Hospital.
Said to be the most popular event of the year for ladies in Decatur, The Power of Pink always sells out. Packing Ingalls Harbor each year, around 850 ladies are received by a line of distinguished gentlemen dressed in their finest.
The luncheon is always a beautiful afternoon full of delicious food, great fun, and premier fashion featuring the unique designs of deLoain.
