The real survivors are what it's about, those who leave an impact on us.  Tuesday night at the Tangiers in Akron, Ohio  lit it up pink for breast cancer awareness month honoring breast cancer and it's survivors, those affected by the disease. To kick off the 14th annual Bosom Buddies Benefit breast cancer survivor and country musician Sheryl Crow gave the crowd a warm welcome via video. Her message as touching as she is lit up the faces in the room. The night's festivities focused on raising awareness, early detection and prevention. The money raised from the event is donated to Akron General's muffin's for mammograms program in which provides free mammograms for women and men who can't afford them. WQMX Sue Wilson of Wynn and Wilson In the morning also program director of station began the program with honoring breast cancer survivors in attendance, these women in the room each received a rose from WQMX personalities Lynn Kelly and Sarah Kay courtesy of Pam's Posies, a sponsor of WQMX along with a special performance of America The Beautiful from Maria Rizzo, the daughter of WNOA vice president Domanic Rizzo, she's  a third year junior of the University of Akron, a mechanical engineer and a pulpit grad. Maria's performance was a special highlight of the evening along with the live and silent auction that was held to raise money for Bosom Buddies Muffin's For Mammograms. 

In it's 14 years Bosom Buddies continues to strive to support and dedicate themselves for the cause. Scott Wynn partner and co-host of Wynn and Wilson In the Morning through out the evening reminded folks to get their bids in on items for the auction. Items up for bid an autographed pink electric guitar signed by Miranda Lambert,  a signed Luke Bryan guitar, signed and autographed items from Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift, Tyler Farr, Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow and many others among the stations sponsors Miller Bud Lite, Pam's Posies, Klaben Auto Stores, The Dusty Armadillo, Legends Sports Pub and Grille and more. The raffle of the evening a signed guitar autographed by Kellie Pickler herself, the winner of the guitar met with Kellie in receiving the signature, what a treat for the lucky winner. The combination of fundraisers through out the year makes it all possible for Bosom Buddies muffins for mammograms program. Every dollar raised is one step closer in helping women and men get treatment.

The evenings main performances from artists Frankie Ballard and Kellie Pickler was nothing short of amazing, Ballard himself took his time to be a part of the event, his unselfishness was truly rewarded. A true showman Frankie performed his current single Helluva A Life among one titled Don't Take Much and a cover version of The Eagles "Ain't That America". Ballard's 15 to 20 minute set was refreshingly upbeat and harmonious. I'm sure looking forward to pushing his music in the coming months.
Kellie Pickler gives meaning to country music these days, her wit, sass and traditional sound are felt through her performances. New songs from her forthcoming album The Woman I Am were performed from "Someone Somewhere Tonight", "Ring For Sale" and "her brand new single "Little Bit Gypsy" among fan favorites  "Tough", "Makin' Me Fall In Love Again" and "Red High Heels". "My own personal connection to "My Angel" is a constant reminder of my childhood, my grandma and I use to sit on our front porch swing singing the hymns Amazing Grace and Jesus Loves Me, she taught me those songs, although she's no longer with us she would be proud how far I've come in my life, she knew of my talents, she saw it in me when many others didn't, I seem to always have to hold my composure when Kellie performs this song live", Shellie of Country Music City Promotions explains. Pickler's performance of "My Angel" had the room in a hush, many can relate to Kellie and her music as you may hear from fans. It wasn't only her own material she performed during the hour long set, Kellie covered the classics from George Jones "White Lightning",  Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough" and Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man". For Pickler to be involved with Bosom Buddies hits close to home as she herself has been affected by breast cancer when her best friend Summer Miller was diagnosed in June of last year, Summer's journey has been Kellie's journey in which Kellie joined Summer in shaving their heads last year fighting it together. To have the support and encouragement from family and friends is so important to get through the struggle. Summer will finish chemo and treatments in November.

The evening was a successful one and I feel blessed to have been a part of the event as I myself am a survivor, a two time co-survivor. My own mom was diagnosed in 1993 and again in 2005. This past may a high school friend of mine Shelby was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, she's currently finishing chemo and will begin radiation and reconstruction in the coming month. Every day someone is diagnosed with breast cancer and together we can fight the fight to make a difference.

Many thanks to 94.9 WQMX, the staff and it's sponsors to continue to bring awareness.

With any indication Kellie Pickler has seen 2013 fly by, after winning season 16's Dancing With The Stars, touring across the country she was hard at work creating new music, she released her first single "Someone Somewhere Tonight" in May, two months  later released a follow up single "Little Bit Gypsy" currently climbing the charts. Where does that leave Pickler for downtime, on the road or back in her Nashville home throughout the holiday season. Pickler better known as (Mrs. Jacobs) has found herself over the past 7 years, seeking closure and coming to terms  as the woman she is. Perfectly fitting the new album titled The Woman I Am shows Pickler's true colors, the woman she's grown into. The material enough as we've heard live is indication where Kellie has been and is and continues to be.

Live on Good Morning America Tuesday October 1st Kellie revealed the cover art for "The Woman I Am", and with her husband and songwriter Kyle Jacobs and her best friend Summer Miller who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year went pink as GMA began their campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pickler performed "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" and "Someone Somewhere Tonight" before loosing her composure embracing Summer. These two faced the struggle together this past year when Kellie shaved her head in support of Summer.

"Together we can make a difference one day at a time", Shellie at Country Music City Promotions explains. "I've been in this position since 1993 when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time and again in 2005. A high school friend was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer this past May". I feel as if I've had to remain strong and really stand up for Breast Cancer Awareness for most of my life".
Along with Kellie Pickler, Summer and so many in this world continue to fight for a cause.
