Unfortunately, far too many of us have been affected by the women in our lives,(Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Friends, Loved ones,) and their fierce and courageous battle with Breast Cancer and other life threatening illnesses. It was out of a desire to honor them and a deep sense of paying her blessings forward and doing her part to make a difference, that Lynn d'Angona, a resident of Provincetown created this benefit with the help of some friends, Unitarian Universalist Meeting House, Benjamin deRuyter of ART HOUSE, Shawn Nightingale and Mariellen Serena of The Pilgrim House-Vixen, Michelle Crone of Divine Entertainment, Melinda Ancillo of Melinda Ancillo design and Joseph Middleton, Casting. It is the mission of Provincetown Cares: Helping The Women We Love, to stage a benefit performance each year during Women’s Week and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month as a way to promote research, education, screening and treatment for breast cancer as well as other serious health issues affecting women. The proceeds will benefit both local and national organizations committed to research, education and treatment services for women in our communities.
