ITEM K-4) CONSENT AGENDA
RESOLUTION
Pink Week Events
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Since its inception more than 27 years ago, NBCAM has been at the forefront of promoting
awareness of breast cancer issues and has evolved along with the national dialogue on breast
cancer. NBCAM and Councilwoman Felicia Robinson recognize that although many great
strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be
accomplished. Both remain dedicated to educating and empowering women and men to take
charge of their won breast health.
In recognition of October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Councilwoman
Robinson recommends that the City implement a Miami Gardens “Pink Week” event. The theme
for this year’s Pink Week Events will be “Paint the City Pink.”
The cost associated with implementing Miami Gardens “Pink” event is expected to not exceed
$ 5,000.00, as sponsors will be secured.
Proposed Action:
Councilwoman Felicia Robinson recommends that the Council adopt this resolution recognizing
October 2014, as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Miami Gardens, and to
implement Miami Gardens “Pink” Event.
