Think pink for women's wellness 2025
On May 7, 2025, the Irene Dunne Guild hosted the annual THINK PINK FOR WOMEN'S WELLNESS at the elegant Regent Santa Monica Beach Hotel. The Guild's primary fundraising event, Think Pink for Women’s Wellness is held annually the first week of May. The event features speaker sessions with healthcare experts on a variety of topics, a shopping boutique and an overall day of conversation and camaraderie. Born from the idea that women are the drivers of family healthcare, Think Pink not only raises vital funds for Saint John’s, but honors the women who embrace this role and provides them with the latest information. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL THINK PINK!
This year marked the 38th anniversary of the Guild as a major support group of Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. With many Guild and community members impacted by the recent fires, this year’s event provided a meaningful opportunity to come together—to connect, reflect, and support women’s wellness in a spirit of care, strength, and resilience. The program featured informative health presentations by expert speakers, a seated luncheon, and the beloved Shop Pink boutique, thoughtfully curated with offerings from local vendors. Sincere thanks go to the Providence Saint John’s Health Center Foundation, Guild President Kathy Yawitz, Think Pink co-chairs Suzanne Caldwell and Sila Vokshoor, boutique chair Antonella Carlevaro, the Saint John’s Health Center speakers, the Guild’s volunteers, the boutique vendors, and the many attendees whose enthusiasm and generosity made this event another resounding success.
