Sippi Khurana, Arif Kamal, Jenny Todd, Ellie Francisco, Jennifer Allison, and Gaye Lynn Zarrow donned their most festive pink attire at the American Cancer Society (ACS) Tickled Pink luncheon. More than 650 supporters were among the record-breaking crowd at The Post Oak Hotel that raised more than $389,000 to benefit ACS breast cancer research, education, and support services. Luncheon chairs Jacquie Baly, Beth Wolff, and Cynthia Wolff and honorary chair Leisa Holland-Nelson Bowman, a breast cancer survivor, welcomed guests to support those who have been impacted by cancer. Special guests Nelda Blair, Chree Boydstun, Shelley Reeves Boyer, Cheryl Creuzot, Evelyn Leightman, Janette Marx, and Sue Smith were honored during the luncheon, and Leightman shared thoughts from her own 25-year cancer journey.
