The Fourth Annual Pink Luncheon might still be a few months away, but the Parker County Health Foundation is already hard at work recruiting sponsors for the charitable event.
Scheduled for Oct. 9, the luncheon has gained in popularity over the last few years. All proceeds raised from the event stay in Parker County, and go to provide mammograms and screenings for the under-served women in the area.
Individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in sponsoring the event may choose from three levels of participation, starting at $100 individual seats, and going up to $1,000 “Pink Diamond” level recognized sponsorships.
“We’ve had great response in the past from the community, and we’re hoping that continues this year,” said Donna Kirkpatrick, executive director. “We’re really looking forward to this year’s luncheon.”
The featured speaker will be Janine Turner, an actress and the author of “Holding Her Head High”. Two familiar faces will serve as emcees for the event, Deborah Ferguson of NBC 5, and Weatherford College’s own Brent Baker.
For more information on sponsorship opportunities, contact Kirkpatrick at 817-594-1990.

Sheriff, judge at odds over mailer
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler sent out a statement and automatic phone calls across the county Wednesday saying he did not endorse incumbent 43rd District Judge candidate Trey Loftin, following a mailer sent by the judge’s campaign that included a quote from Fowler.
However, Loftin said Thursday Fowler made the referenced statement to a room full of people at a fundraiser for Loftin and agreed to let Loftin’s campaign quote the sheriff. - Film director looking for local actors
