Hyde Park Village is set to host its renowned fall art festival on October 27-28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. This free event not only showcases artistic talent but also supports breast cancer awareness through a partnership with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, a division of the American Cancer Society.
The Hyde Park Art Fair, organized by Howard Alan Events, is more than just an art exhibition. This year, it collaborates with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Hyde Park Village merchant The Pink Petticoat, and numerous participating artists to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support.
Festival attendees can participate in a special chance giveaway by making a $1 optional donation. The prize? An original "Fight Like a Girl" bra, uniquely designed and donated by The Pink Petticoat. Additionally, the winner will enjoy an exclusive after-hours shopping party for 10 people at The Pink Petticoat, complete with champagne and dessert or wine and cheese, along with store-wide discounts—a package valued at $200.
All proceeds from the giveaway will benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The organization will have a booth at the event, accepting donations and providing valuable information about breast cancer. The drawing for the giveaway will take place on Sunday, October 28th at 3 p.m., and the winner will be notified via cell phone.
Breast cancer remains a significant health issue. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer over their lifetime. In 2023 alone, an estimated 297,790 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. (source).
The Hyde Park Art Fair is not just an opportunity to appreciate art but also a chance to contribute to a meaningful cause. By attending and participating in the special chance giveaway, you can support breast cancer awareness and research, making a difference in the lives of many.
