Fight Pink Chocolate helps Family Survive Cancer

Aug. 8, 2008 - PRLog -- When faced with a crisis like your only parent fighting Cancer, many teenagers would scurry away and get ‘oh whoa is me!’ syndrome, but not 18 year old Ashley Guerrero, founder and owner of the independent distributorship Fight Pink Chocolate. Ashley tapped into the courage inside and started a journey that would impact hundreds of people around her.

Early this year Ashley was accepted into a young entrepreneur’s organization to learn skills necessary to running her own business, however, very shortly thereafter her mother Laurie was diagnosed with Breast, Bone and Liver Cancer.  With the sole responsibility of bringing income into the house, Ashley would have to forgo her education and start making money immediately.  She turned to her mentor and together they devised a plan to get Ashley into a business immediately.

Ashley chose to start the independent distributorship Fight Pink Chocolate, selling the highly popular Healthy Xocai Chocolate products to friends and neighbors. Ashley, knowing her family’s survival depends on her ability to sell this chocolate, has been reaching out to anyone who will listen, making many new fans of the chocolate product like Miss Geico’s racing team, the United State’s premier powerboat racing team, Scott Begovich, Mark Granet and team owner John Ben-Ali Haggin.

Friday, August 8th, at the Shopaholic Boutique in Tequesta, Florida, Ashley, her mentors and a group of supporters are throwing the “Goddess Party” event to raise Cancer awareness and the funds for her family’s survival. The event features the theme song “Ready for my Life” by up coming pop/rock sensation Stevi Madison, the Beat Bombers: Drum Circle Gods and The Navel Academy: Raina Lead Belly Dance Goddess, as well as live and online auctions where participants can bid on items donated by several generous supporters including: Beauty TV in association with Hair Lab, who donated an Eye Brow Transplant,  House of Raquel, Kentucky Jeans, Modadezza, who donated swimwear from the cb Coco Brazil Collection, Naughty But Nice, Ocean Magic and Rich German, for a full list, please visit www.fightpinkchocolate.com.


“Recently my mother was diagnosed with Breast, Liver and Bone Cancer. Given the intensity of her treatments and failing health I started selling healthy Xocai chocolate, not only to help my family out of our extreme financial hardship, but to also show others that it can be done.” said Fight Pink Chocolate founder Ashley Guerrero “I went from collecting and selling aluminum cans for cash to building my own healthy chocolate business...  I don’t want people feeling sorry for me, I want them to be inspired by what can be done when you put your mind to it.”  

For more details about how the public can make donations or participate in the online auction, please visit www.fightpinkchocolate.com.
