*The Impact Network is set to air the 5th Annual Pink Awards on April 30th. This iconic event is a tribute to breast cancer survivors and exemplifies the network’s dedication to providing inspiring and uplifting programming for the Black community.
Hosted by actors Malik Yoba (BET’s “First Wives Club”) and Carl Anthony Payne (“Martin”). The ceremony will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. The Impact Network airs the 5th Annual Pink Awards on April 30th at 8 pm ET/PT.
The iconic Pink Awards celebrates Black excellence through performances, celebrity guest appearances, and heartfelt tributes.
Viewers will witness stirring testimonies from those who have championed the fight against breast cancer. The event will also uplift those who have been warriors in their battles against the disease.
The Pink Awards were founded five years ago by cancer survivor April Love. April created the celebration to honor survivors, caregivers, and advocates within their respective industries and surrounding communities.
“I am truly blessed to have the Impact Network as a committed partner in raising awareness about breast cancer in our community. The Pink Awards is an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the profound legacy and invaluable contributions of our culture,” commented April Love, Pink Awards Founder.
“Impact Network is proud to air The Pink Awards. April Love’s comeback is an example that all things are possible;” replied Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, Founder and CEO, Impact Network.
The Pink Awards also salutes individuals who are overcoming and succeeding in other areas of life and the culture beyond cancer. Award categories include The Samaritan, The Vanguard, The Trailblazer and The Warrior. These awards are tailored to honor visionaries, entrepreneurs, and those who have changed the trajectory of their respective fields. Complete details on participating talent, presenters, and honorees will be announced in the coming weeks.
“The Pink Awards brings the sizzle of an awards show with the substance that can save lives! The Impact Pink Awards features many resources and stories of hope and resilience. It truly is soul-stirring and strengthening;” said Royal W. Jackson, Executive Vice President, of Impact Network.
With the organization’s community-focused approach, survivors, caregivers, and advocates can connect, share stories, and find support and encouragement. The Pink Awards raises awareness by promoting early detection, providing resources, and supporting those affected by breast cancer.
Particularly enticing is the star-filled lineup featuring performances by Jagged Edge and Kaelyn Kastle. Special guests appearing are Orlando Jones, Porsha Williams, Da Brat, Jesseca Dupart, and William Murphy. Honorees include music producers Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin, humanitarian Elizabeth Omilami, Pastor Jamal Bryant, and health advocate Ricki Fairley.
The catalyst for Impact Health Month originated from National Minority Health Month (NMHM) which was established in 1915 by Booker T. Washington as an extension of his National Negro Health Week. In 2002 NMHM received Congressional support, as well as support from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
