Kansas City, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2017 -- Award-winning photographer Roger Ridpath announced today the donation of a limited edition print from his Kansas City Illuminated Series No. 1.,"Pamona in Pink." The print is the very first in a series focused on his hometown, Kansas City. "Pomona in Pink" was specifically created to raise awareness for breast cancer. The donated print will be auctioned at the Howl at the Moon & Open Arms Breast Cancer Outreach Fund event Friday, October 6, 2017.
Roger Ridpath's photograph, "Pomona in Pink" was chosen from his body of work photographing Kansas City and the region for over ten years.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. Currently, the average risk of a woman in the United States developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 12%. This alarming fact means there is a 1 in 8 chance she will develop breast cancer.
"I hope that my artwork is successful in creating awareness and drawing attention to the disease," said Ridpath. "I encourage you to attend the fundraiser Open Arms Breast Cancer Outreach Fund at Howl at the Moon on Friday."
