 Let’s Get Laced Cancer Charity Event is ALL about contributing to the fight
for the cure of Cancer. LGL used their ministration to aid in the assistance by
servicing cancer patients with Lace Wig Makeovers, due to their hair loss from
their cancer treatments. Tiffany Coleman-Prince, Brand Manager
of Let’s Get Laced, unfortunately knows all too well the struggles with
losing a loved one to Cancer. Almost two years ago, she lost her precious
mother Patricia Allen-Coleman to the unrelenting disease.
In honor of her beloved mom’s memory, she created the P.A.C. Foundation.
Breast Cancer is a disease that about 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12%)
will develop over the course of her lifetime. Battling the despondency of her
mom’s untimely parting, Summuyya Newman desired to discover a course of action for
Tiffany to aqueduct her affliction. This is when The 1st Annual Let’s Get
Laced Cancer Charity Event Series was born.
With the first fundraiser an instant success, prestigious names in entertainment
and media are signing on to be a part of this year’s event.
