Domaine Chandon Winery hosted its annual Pink Party on Thursday, October 13th, 2011 in Yountville. In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to rally attention to the importance of early detection in women, the annual event -Eve of Hope- benefited the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) which mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need.
