The 14th annual Pink Ribbons Luncheon, held Monday at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead, honored breast cancer survivors while raising money for research.
Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg, founder of the event, shared positive medical news regarding new preventative treatments.
“Our hopes continue to be supported by strong facts that we are making progress,” he said.
As always, a highlight of the event was the fashion show segment featuring survivor models. This year’s honorees included Charlotte Andrist, Carol Bitner, Beth Borden-Goodman, Patti Cheek, Ruth Eldredge, Chris Gabrielsen, Claire Jackson, Ronnie Kessenich, Edi Reid and Mary Twine.
Belk sponsored the fashion show and announced a special day of shopping afterward at the Phipps location, featuring champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.
“It is a tradition of the Belk family to give back to the communities we serve,” said Leo Whalen, manager of the Phipps store.
Monday’s event was chaired by Judy Lynn Rice and Charlotte Ros Terrell, with Eldredge, Lincenberg, Juliann Kaiser and Gigi Luedeman serving on the executive committee.

You are sweet; how lovely of you to include my friend Gayle and me in your article; with all the ‘heavy social hitters’ in the room, the two little girls from South Georgia appreciate your thoughtfulness. We had to leave after the fashion show, before lunch was served, so this was a fun reward! Take care…and thank you for stopping by our table, I enjoyed meeting you. Lynn
