Miami Women Who Rock (MWWR) will host the 2nd annual “Fifty Shades of Pink” Awards Luncheon in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month on Wednesday, October 21, 11:30 am at the Coral Gables Country Club. Miami Women Who Rock is a network of women and businesses who support health‐related causes and initiatives.

The event will honor 10 exceptional and diverse women for their strength, resilience, compassion and commitment to their families and the Miami community. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit The Women’s Breast & Heart Health Initiative, Florida Affiliate, that connects at‐risk women with the early detection necessary to fight breast cancer and heart disease, and which was founded by one of MWWR’s 2014 notable honorees, Andrea Ivory.

Miami Women Who Rock will present a “Lifetime Achievement Award” to famous Cuban Song Writer and Latin Grammy Artist, Concha Valdes Miranda. MWWR is proud to announce the amazing 2015 Award recipients who will be honored at the “Fifty Shades of Pink” Awards Luncheon. Congratulations to the honorees with their respective categories: Gloria Barbier (Determination ), Linda Burrowes (Pink Warrior), C.L. Conroy, (Trailblazer), Maria Freed (Advocate), Pilar Montes (Integrity), Elena Linares (Empowerment), Detra Shaw-Wilder (Impact), and Norma Trabanco, (Community Involvement).

MWWR was established in 2007 by Emily Zubizarreta, a Miami businesswoman who built a thriving career in international business and leadership development. She created MWWR to serve as a platform to help other women succeed in business, as well as to honor women who are making a difference in the community. “We have evolved tremendously since our first awards event in 2008 and are thrilled to introduce several new categories this year ranging from the “Lifetime Achievement Award” to the “Pink Warrior Award,” said Zubizarreta.

“Because breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women, the ‘Fifty Shades of Pink’ Awards Luncheon is the embodiment of MWWR’s global vision with a local mission. Our signature events are where heels and hearts meet to benefit imperative women’s health initiatives,” she said.

Event Sponsors include FirstBank Florida, Miami Herald, South Florida Luxury Guide, Kozyak, Tropin & Throckmorton, Mattia College, Razzledazzle Barbershop and Reality Check Legal Solutions.

Each honoree will receive an award inspired by the mosaic work of local artist Jacki Gran.
