Slumber party spa night at the Pink House  

CASA Club volunteers hosted a slumber party–style spa night at the Carolina Breast Friends Pink House to create a relaxing and joyful experience for women who are currently battling or have survived breast cancer. 

  • Volunteers arrived in pajamas to set a cozy, welcoming tone 
  • Activities included face masks, mini manicures, DIY scalp oils, and hand scrubs 
  • The event focused on building community and offering comfort through self-care

Why it matters:
