2023 Pink Tea This Saturday Supports Camp Kesem

Live and silent auctions will be just part of the fun and entertainment at the Pink Tea, Saturday, May 13 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at SUU’s Gilbert Great Hall. Helicopter rides with SUU Aviation, a personalized culinary class with Chef Jon Woodgate from Southwest Tech, a getaway to Ruby’s Inn, and theatre tickets to the Utah Shakespeare Festival, SimonFest, Tuacahn and Hale Center Theatre are just a few of the grand experiences up for auction at this year’s event. Tickets are $50 with tables of 10 for $450. Tickets may be purchased online at powerinpink-ironcounty.com.

“This fancy hat tea party is such a fun way to support a very important cause,” said Deena Marchal, Pink Tea Committee Chairperson. “We have fancy hats to rent or buy and many unique items and experiences in our live and silent auctions. Our entertainment is always delightful.” 

Pink Tea proceeds benefit Camp Kesem, a summer camp specifically for kids ages 6-18 whose parents are impacted by cancer. Kesem works with universities and colleges and SUU is one of only two chapters in Utah. SUU student leaders work year-round to deliver programming and services. Power in Pink-Iron County is thrilled to partner with these students to produce the Pink Tea and help send kids to Camp Kesem.

“When you buy a ticket to attend the Pink Tea, you are in for a memorable afternoon. The hats, the refreshments, and the entertainment are all a lot of fun. But more importantly, you are making a difference in the lives of some local kids who are going through a tough time,” said Robyn Brown, cancer survivor and Power in Pink Board Member. “I am grateful for people who helped my kids heal from the secondary effects of cancer.” 

2023 Pink Tea sponsors include Miner Foundation, State Bank of Southern Utah, Cedar City Rotary Club, Southern Utah University, Smith’s, Artisans, Lovene & Donn Jersey and Steve Yates. If you cannot attend the event, but would like to support this effort financially, you may make a donation online at powerinpink-ironcounty.com.

The Pink Tea is presented by Power in Pink-Iron County, a local non-profit dedicated to meeting the needs of women and their families in Iron County dealing with breast cancer.
