Join Helping Hands of Rockwall virtually on their Facebook page as Willis Fine Jewelry hosts the Annual Pink Party. The Pink Party for Rockwall County Helping Hands every year raises money for Breast Cancer Awareness. The funds raised from this event benefit the Health Center of Helping Hands with a concentration on women’s health. Proceeds fund mammograms, well-women exams and allow for generalized medical care for women. Financial contributions help provide early detection and prevention of breast cancer in the underserved population in your community.
