A fun night of music and hope for local breast cancer care.

BIG STARS & PINK GUITARS

A rhythm for change

Join us for the 9th annual Big Stars & Pink Guitars, a special event for breast cancer care and research!

This rockin’ evening combines the power of music and the power of philanthropy to spark meaningful change for those facing the fear and uncertainty of a breast cancer diagnosis.

We’re proud to say that 100% of every dollar raised from this amazing event stays local to support the Edith Sanford Breast Center. Since its inception in 2018, Big Stars & Pink Guitars has raised more than $5.4 million for breast cancer research and treatment.

Strike the beat for an unforgettable evening

This one-of-a-kind evening will share how your support helps the 1 in 8 women who will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetimes.

Fueled by philanthropy, our expert care teams, leading-edge researchers, and state-of-the-art screening technology are what set the Edith Sanford Breast Center apart. Thanks to the generosity of so many, we continue to transform the future of care for those facing a breast cancer diagnosis.

PUMP UP THE BASS

The evening will feature more than 20 pink firefly guitars signed by some of the world’s biggest stars — many of whom have been touched by breast cancer — in a live auction event. Past events have featured guitars signed by some of the biggest names in music — stars like Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Snoop Dogg, Cher, and REO Speedwagon just to name a few!

Featuring:

• Live music from Kory and the Fireflies celebrating the power of music, hope and philanthropy.
• Don’t forget to wear your best concert glam for the chance to win the BEST DRESSED award. (Feathers, leather, sequins, sparkles — we want it all!)
