Whether you have a personal interest in breast cancer, non-profit fundraising or cause-related marketing, there's plenty for you to think about in the new documentary film, Pink Ribbons, Inc.

The movie explores how the breast cancer movement has moved from activism to consumerism and afterwards, a panel will address a range of issues pertinent to breast cancer and cause marketing.

Tracy Cook-Brewton, of the Sisters Network Carolinas, Inc., which serves the breast health needs of African-American women, will address the point that breast cancer is marketed as a disease that strikes middle-class Caucasian women. She will provide information about how this affects access to care and treatment.

Ann Fox, PhD, Associate Professor of English and Gender Studies Concentration Coordinator at Davidson College, is interested in the "prettiness" versus "power" factor of the ubiquitous pink ribbon.

Neel Stallings, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Outstanding volunteer of the year (2012) and Interim Director of the Charlotte Komen affiliate, will address the role of Komen affiliates, their degree of autonomy from the parent organization and the $5m granted in the local area to underserved breast health needs.

Rosemarie Tong, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Health Care Ethics in the Department of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics at UNC Charlotte, will speak to the ethical questions raised in the film.
