Before it’s time to go red, white and blue for the fourth of July, Cincy Chic is painting the town red, pink and blue. With the help of generous sponsors, Cincy Chic, the only online lifestyle publication for women in Greater Cincinnati, is teaming up with Art of the Spa – a spa PR and event consulting firm - to host “Red, Pink and Blue,” a women’s health awareness event series with a fashionable twist.

The “Red, Pink and Blue” event series - which will take place Thursday, June 25, Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27, 2009 - aims to raise awareness about three of the top 10 health risks for women while raising money for three local non-profit organizations. The “Red” represents heart health, the “Pink” represents breast health and the “Blue” represents diabetes health. The three non-profit organizations benefitting from this event series are The American Heart Association, Pink Ribbon Girls and Spa4Diabetes.

Below are all the events taking place during the Red, Pink and Blue event series. Please feel free to RSVP to any/all of them! (Make sure you scroll from top to bottom, where you'll learn how to get $300+ in free health screenings, access to an epic fashion show and win an extreme makeover and BMW convertible weekend lease!)
