A Saturday Night Cocktail Party for a Great Cause

Over the past 11 years, Hair Port Salon & Day Spa has donated over $260,000 in support of the battle against breast cancer. This year our office, Ask Gina & Company, and Hooked, an award winning and locally owned seafood restaurant have joined the cause of supporting the fight against breast cancer. The Ask Gina Team contributed five 100 level tickets to a Washington Capitals game and a signed hockey stick by all the players to the Silent Auction. All proceeds from the auction will directly benefit breast cancer research and treatment.

Every year over 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in which about 1 out of every 4 dies from this horrible disease. Let's make a difference and lower that statistic together
Come out on Saturday, October 24th, from 7-10pm, for the "The Pink Masquerade," a cocktail party hosted by Hair Port Salon & Day Spa in support of raising money for breast cancer research and treatment for women suffering from the disease. Enjoy an exquisite seafood & sushi buffet complete with a champagne fountain while watching live entertainment, a premier fashion show, and live & silent auctions at Hooked's newest location in Sterling at the intersection of Rt. 7 and Cascades Parkway.
