Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Rally and Pod Events
Behind the scenes we have been busy, and now the events are rolling in.
Please come to the Urban Harvest Farmers Market this weekend for a strong showing of support for our first Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Rally. The Rice MOB band will alert market goers that something different is happening. A panel of cancer survivors, Dr. Suzanne Bruce, and State Senator Molly Cook will share information and inspirational stories. We would love to have a crowd of people supporting our rally. We have opportunities for you to display signs, hand out literature, and engage with the audience.
The rally is also our grand reveal of the PlantPure Houston Jumpstart. More info below.
