Featured in this month’s SELF magazine is Chicagoan and Bright Pink founder Lindsay Avner. You all know how much I love Bright Pink and if anyone has seen a need, hatched a plan and changed the world for the better, it’s Lindsay. She is the absolute best and I am so happy that SELF magazine agrees!

My love for non-profit Bright Pink is no secret (remember Fit Fest?) and now they have entered the bloggessphere!
beingbrightpink.com is their brand new blog, a space that they will use to “make sure young women have the tools they need to make empowered decisions about their health that allow them to live beautiful and fulfilling lives.”
Healthy living tips, health info and Bright Pink news…I can tell this is going to be a blog I frequent often!
Have a happy (and bright!) Friday!
To say that Bright Pink‘s Fit Fest was a success is an understatement. At the close of the 6 hour fitness marathon, Fit Fest’s 140 participants had raised over $76,000 to fund Bright Pink‘s educational and support programs nationwide! It was the most incredible day- to see such passion and energy flowing from every single person who dedicated their Sunday to being healthy and active as well as fundraising their socks off…well, it’s no surprise that the power of pink can go a long, long way.
My team, Pink Lemonade, was there is full force, sweating it out with the best of ’em. I had so much fun with my team, as well as the other amazing Fit Festers, and I was almost sad to see it all end- I say almost because I can’t imagine being even more sore! Time for a hot bath and another solid night of sleep.
A huge thank you to all of my donors, cheerleaders, and high-fivers- your support means the world to me. And a very special thank you to Lindsay Avner and Leah Drew for the incredible opportunity to get involved with Fit Fest- it was an amazing experience!
