Medical Center–Pineville; and Carolinas Medical Center– Blumenthal Cancer Center. The tennis tournament was the first of the main Rally events this year, followed by Family Day. The ladies' golf day remained the focal point of BCC Rally week. During lunch, inspiration was offered by Carrie Glasscock from SGK Global; Dr. Jeffrey Kneisel, medical director of Blumenthal Cancer Center; Shawna Platé, breast services marketing manager for Charlotte Radiology, and featured speaker Sheri Lynch, co-host of 107.9 The Link's Bob & Sheri Show. The Pink Bow campaign, the selling of pink bows to decorate neighborhood mailboxes, expanded exponentially this year, with ribbons now appearing in New York, Chicago and the Cayman Islands. The BCC Rally also partnered with Ardrey Kell High School to publish a student- written children's book called "Ruthie and the Pink Fairy" (see previous page). The grand finale for this year's BCC Rally was the Aces and Graces Gala. Dr. Terry Sarantou and Dr. Steven Limentani from Carolinas HealthCare System explained how events like this are vital in raising funds for much needed cancer research and support. The featured speakers were husband and wife team Drs. Kara and Bryan Criswell, Ballantyne-based cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, who spoke about the more than 350 courageous breast cancer survivors they have assisted. Voice of the Panthers, Mick Mixon, encouraged diners in the live auction and entertained pink-clad party-goers by leading his band, Mick Mixon and the Ultras. To learn more, visit www.bccrally.com. Lemonade Stand Supports Preemies After Izzy Gorden was born, she spent time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Carolinas Medical Center in Pineville. Her mother, Carole Gorden, decided she wanted to give something back to the community as a way of thanks, so she and Izzy launched "Peace, Love, and Lemonade," a charitable endeavor selling lemonade and tie-dye clothing to raise money for preemies at CMC Pineville's NICU. The two have set up their lemonade stand at numerous Charlotte locations, including the Blakeney Boo Bash, where they sold 950 cups of lemonade. Izzy and her family have now raised over $6,000 in sales and donations, far in excess of their initial $500 goal. On December 21, Izzy's birthday, they will present a check and stuffed animals for babies in the unit to CMC Pineville at 10 a.m. Izzy Gorden and her mom have raised over $6,000 selling lemonade.
