The Shops at La Cantera is partnering with ThriveWell Cancer Foundation for a Pink Bag Event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, October 18 at the common area by Luciano’s Ristorante across from Barnes & Noble to raise awareness during breast cancer month. The United Breast Cancer Foundation via Brookfield Properties donated Pink Bags to ThriveWell to distribute to its cancer survivors. ThriveWell will be on site to share information about its patient assistance; Diva & Dude; and cancer research programs.

Artist Taylor Lane will paint live and donate her painting to ThriveWell for auction at its Bras For A Cause gala. Taylor is a mixed media artist who favors acrylic, oil, and spray paint. She is inspired by Texan imagery and vibrant colors like the fiery pink and orange hues that light the sunset. Her painting style might be described as controlled chaos. With wild and striking elements of color, composition, and text conveyed as a balanced and intentional final piece - her art is representative of her story.

Additionally lululemon yogi ambassador Jody Whiting will lead a beginning yoga class for cancer survivors from 11:15 to noon.

When: Saturday, October 18
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
