Think pink is an annual event held at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. Stephanie Robin a survivor of breast cancer and her friend Elizabeth Weprin founded the event, which was started in 2008. The event took place Saturday night on November 5, 2011 however, before the concert there was a street fair down Mizner Park from November 4-6, which showcased a "green" lifestyle by displaying organic food samples, recycled clothes for a fashion show and a fitness center that was held by Cross Fit. The event is really locally based so all the vendors there are from the South Florida area.
On Saturday night the Think Pink Rocks concert was hosted by Terrence J and included 15 acts, some of the performers were Ray J, Flo Rida, Brianna, Shontelle, who has been a part of it since the event was started, Asher Roth, Brett Loewenstern, Iyaz, Mann and some local artist like Jake Miller and the Think Pink Rocks talent search winner Jason Marcus. The night of the concert the front of the stage was packed with people dressed in pink waiting for their favorite artist to take the stage regardless of how the weather was that night. Prior to the day the Think Pink Rocks organization had sold thousands of tickets. The concert attracted the attention of many teens in the area since that is the majority of the performers fan bases, and by that the performers are bringing more awareness to the cause.
"We have an opportunity to talk to the young kids, that’s our future right there its the young kids who you can actually impact and get them excited about stuff and that where we start" said Asher Roth.
Therefore, the future is looking bright for Think Pink Rocks as it is gaining more attention from the locals and performers many of which who empathise with the cause since they have had relatives that dealt with breast cancer.
