Action Sports Jax Alivia Tassely and ANJ anchor Chandler Morgan emceed the Pink Ribbon Soiree, which was presented by Fields Auto Group benefiting Pink Ribbon Jax.

The event raised money for the Jacksonville community, providing mammograms for women and men who could not otherwise afford this crucial screening.

The community also got involved in the cause. Those who have lost loved ones or friends to breast cancer sent in their pictures to the Pink Ribbon Jax Facebook page. Those pictures were then displayed at the event.
