ABOUT TICKLED PINK
Founder and CEO of The Paramount Group Jodi Fyfe started the Tickled Pink event in memory of her cousin Carrie Kennedy. Carrie lost her battle against breast cancer when she was thirty-five.
Since 2005, the event has had a massive impact in the Chicago community, raising awareness for those affected by cancer and making a difference in their lives by donating over two million dollars to date. The annual fundraising event partners with nonprofit organizations to make their donations each year.
This year, Tickled Pink has partnered with Twist Out Cancer, a nonprofit organization focused on giving psychological support to all affected by cancer, including survivors, previvors, and caretakers. Twist Out Cancer uses creative arts programming as a mechanism for healing. Their fundraising goal for this year is $100,000. Guests can contribute by making a donation or purchasing a Tickled Pink event ticket.
