INDIANAPOLIS – As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, the Indianapolis Colts and their partners at O'Charley's and Tyler Mason Salon and Spa hosted 10 women who have survived, or are currently battling, breast cancer for a special day of pampering on Tuesday, October 30, 2012. The women were nominated in this year's "Pamper Her Pink" program. The Colts Community Tuesday event began with lunch at the Avon O'Charley's, followed by services at Tyler Mason Salon and Spa, located on the west side of Indianapolis.
Colts DE Cory Redding, LS Matt Overton and WR Griff Whalen joined the women and their guests for a special lunch at O'Charley's. When lunch ended, the women were chauffeured VIP style, in limousines, to Tyler Mason for a little pampering and primping. The winners were able to enjoy a variety of spa and salon services, including massages, hair design cut and style, manicures and more. Courtesy of O'Charley's, each winner also received a $500 donation to the breast cancer charity of her choice.
The "Pamper Her Pink" program was launched this year to provide a day of relaxation for breast cancer patients who have overcome tremendous hurdles, leaving them with little time or energy to focus on self-rejuvenation. Nominations for the program were accepted online late-September to mid-October. Dozens of submissions were entered by spouses, children, parents, grandparents, siblings, co-workers and friends throughout Indiana. Each woman's special and unique battle with breast cancer was considered in addition to external hardships and circumstances faced during her journey. The women selected also continued to focus positively on helping others in their own time of need.
The 2012 "Pamper Her Pink" winners and charities of their choice are as follows:
- Lori Carmichael-Shields (Sellersburg) - American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
- Jennifer Crawford (Lebanon) - I.W.I.N. Foundation
- Amy Disney (Shelbyville) - The Cancer Association of Shelby County
- Donna Fischer (Zionsville) – Susan G. Komen Foundation of Central Indiana
- Suzan Hardin (Anderson) – Maria's Hope at St. John's Cancer Center
- Jennifer Heitert (Avon) - I.W.I.N. Foundation
