FASHION FOR A CAUSE

Nearly 1,000 people gathered in support of the MidState Cancer Center at the Pink Partini Fashion Show. Over 75 models — many MidState staff members — walked the runway in Meriden. All of the proceeds from the event — the largest in MidState’s history — support the MidState Cancer Center. Dr. Gary Tansino, medical director of the Cancer Center, took a few moments to highlight the advanced technology and cutting-edge programs aimed at reducing and treating cancer in the community. Pictured are Lucille Janatka, center president and CEO, strutting down the runway with Ralph Becker, chief financial officer.
