Earlier this month, the Pier 5 Hotel located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, hosted the 7th Annual Laurie DeYoung Bosom Buddy Girls Night Out to raise awareness for breast cancer. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so this was one of many fundraisers happening all throughout the country. At this particular event the Bosom Buddies raised over $4000 in donations for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Maryland!
Country singer and 4 time Country Music Award "Female Vocalist of the Year" winner, Martina McBride, joined these girlfriends, mothers, sisters - a group of about 180 women - for the event. Laurie DeYoung created this Bosom Buddies event to bring women together and raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer. "It's a smaller group of women...That's what I love because we really get time to be together," said DeYoung.
McBride performed, dancing ensued, and there was even a bingo game and other fun activities. Of course, dinner and dessert ranked up there with the performance! Bringing together women on such an important issue, and being able to share experiences and stories with one another, while raising money for such an important cause is surely a memorable moment that will not soon be forgotten!

I attende this event and it was phenomenal! What a great benefit. The beautiful lobby, outdoor deck looking over the inner harbor, the food, and of course.....Martina! She rules! I was told she was going to sing 3 songs and it ended up being 6. What a voice for the cause!
Wow! How cool is that?
Amazing to see such a big star play in such an intimate venue.... and for a great cause!
I work with the Harbor Magic Hotels (where the event was held) and I know we were extremely proud to be associated with this event. We formed a partnership with Susan G Komen earlier this year with our Girlfriends Escape and it's always nice when a partnership grows to include experiences like this!
I was also at this event and it was a night that I will never forget. My Aunt is a breast cancer survivor so it was extra special!
