Pink Well Breast Cancer Survivor Dance Tribute
Disco superstar Gloria Gaynor joined well-known Texas philanthropists Lester and Sue Smith in a colorful, surprise dance tribute performed by more than 200 breast cancer survivors and supporters at the Houston Galleria mall June 4, 2011. The upbeat video was released June 5 in conjunction with National Cancer Survivors Day. The event had a single goal —to celebrate the survivor in all of us and raise awareness about breast cancer, a disease that strikes one in eight women nationally. The event also launched the Smith’s Pink Well Challenge, a national campaign symbolized by an active pink pump jack located in the heart of West Texas. Through Pink Well Challenge, the Lester and Sue Smith Foundation will give away up to million in matching funds to eligible breast cancer organizations. Applications are being taken at www.pinkwell.org until July 1, 2011. Featured dancers included the Smiths, who are two-time National Latin Dance Champions. A successful Texas oilman, Smith is also a two-time cancer survivor.
