Hosted by the dedicated team at PELDEM (Presente en la Lucha de Mama), this year marked the third anniversary of this heartwarming event designed to support local families battling breast cancer.
Supporting Local Families with Love
Around the heart of this event lies the incredible mission of PELDEM, which aims to uplift families facing the harsh realities of cancer. This time, they honored two remarkable families, Maria De Los Angeles and Lilian Ponce, whom they have been supporting with essential services such as financial aid, nutrition, housekeeping, and childcare.

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, the Aggieland Mariachi entertained the guests with lively performances, making the audience sway between rounds of the fashion show.
The event also included various engaging activities, such as tables featuring delicious food and creatively decorated bras, sparking conversations and encouraging guests to appreciate the artistry while supporting the cause. Guests had the option to capture joyful moments at a picturesque pink photo backdrop, creating memories of this meaningful day.
