The event, held on Sept. 27 at the EHS Clinical Learning Center, featured EHS’s “Real Men Wear Pink” ambassadors, who showcased their best pink-themed outfits in a vibrant display of creativity and solidarity. Musical energy was provided by DJ Osei providing, the ambassadors took to the runway to display their unique styles. The participants earned their spots in the show by raising funds for the American Cancer Society in the weeks leading up to the event.

“Our ‘Real Men Wear Pink’ ambassadors understood the assignment,” said Sharika Gordon, Senior Vice President & Chief People Officer at EHS. “They looked fabulous and put on an incredibly entertaining show for a truly worthy cause.
