“Not only is this the Coast’s premier event, Toast to the Coast strives to support and showcase our community,” said Melissa Brown, the school’s director of development. “Ten percent of our corporate sponsorships go to our scholarship fund. We also host a Coast-wide children’s juried art show that is on display at the event.”
Brown stresses that anyone who can not attend the event, may still show their support with the mobile bidding feature. “You can bid on the many wonderful and unique silent auction items from anywhere in the world, Havana even!” she said. “The auction will open one week before the event.”

The third annual Pink Pearls to
Save the Girls Fashion Show will be
held October 20 at 8 p.m. at Scarlet
Pearl Casino Resort. The event is
a partnership between Scarlet Pearl
and the Susan G. Komen Foundation
recognizing breast cancer survivors, those still facing it, and those who have lost their lives to it.
Fashions for the show will be provided by Dillard’s and modeled by breast cancer survivors and local celebrities. The event will also include a silent auction, split-the-pot and fabulous pink pearl décor.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased by phone or online. The dress is casual, but attendees are encouraged to wear a pink accent, such as a shirt, tie, shoes or accessory.
“Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort is committed to serving our community,” says CEO LuAnn Pappas. “Pink Pearls to Save the Girls is just one example of how we try
to meet the needs of the area, and we look forward to joining together in the fight against breast cancer.”
