JOY WADE
PRETTY IN PINK FOUNDATION
Joy Wade speaks with a student
at the University of North Carolina
Wilmington whose mother has
recently been diagnosed with
breast cancer during the school’s
Involvement Carnival.
The models are pampered for
a day, going to a spa, having their
hair and make-up done.
The spa services are donated
by a local salon every year. This
year they were donated by Bangz
Salon. They set up a station on-site
wherever they are taking the
calendar photos.
“One of the things we unani-mously
get from everyone, when
they’re getting their pictures
done and they’re naked, is how
exhilarating and fun it feels to
just let go like that. It makes
them feel good, it does.”
The proceeds from the calendar
go toward Ta Ta’s efforts to help
with the day-to-day things that
people can’t take care of when
they’re not well. They pay for
expenses outside of medical costs,
including electricity bills, water
bills, prescriptions and more.
“I know it’s appreciated and
I know it makes a difference in
many people’s lives,” Calloway
says. “That’s what’s important.”
