About this Event
- Join us for an unforgettable evening of empowerment, beauty, and celebration at Check Your Canns 2! This special event is dedicated to honoring and uplifting breast cancer survivors through transformative makeovers that celebrate their strength and resilience.
Our incredible team of professional volunteers will give each of our brave survivors, whom we proudly call our Pinkettes, a stunning Rosie the Riveter meets Pinup Girl makeover. Witness the magic as these inspiring women see themselves for the first time in their new looks, surrounded by a supportive and cheering audience. It's a heartwarming moment that beautifully captures the essence of empowerment and self-love.
The evening will be filled with lively entertainment, featuring the Canny Brothers Band, who will keep the energy high with their fantastic music. Enjoy delicious food, exciting raffle prizes, and the company of a community coming together for a meaningful cause.
All proceeds from Check Your Canns 2 will go towards supporting the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Brooklyn team, helping to fund research, provide support, and raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer.
We’re excited to invite you to dress up and celebrate the spirit of strength, unity, and vintage charm of Check Your Canns 2! Get ready to channel your inner Rosie the Riveter and step back in time with us for a spectacular night and empower our PINKETTES!
Here are some suggestions on how you can dress up for Check Your Canns 2!
💕 Coveralls or Overalls: Instead of the traditional blue, opt for a pink version. You can find pink coveralls or overalls in various shades to suit your preference.
💕Pink Bandana or Headscarf: The classic Rosie look features a polka-dot bandana, usually red. For your pink version, find a pink bandana with white polka dots or a solid pink scarf to tie around your head.
💕Rolled-Up Sleeves: Roll up the sleeves of your coveralls or overalls to highlight the working woman aesthetic.
Here are some Makeup and Hair suggestions to dress up!
💕Victory Rolls: This classic 1940s hairstyle can be adapted to match the pink theme. You can go for a classic roll and add some temporary pink hair chalk.
💕Bold Makeup: Go for a bold red or pink lipstick, winged eyeliner, and a touch of blush to capture the pinup girl essence.
