The area was filled with individuals from different walks of life wearing shirts of various shades of pink to show their support for cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment or as a symbol that they are reminiscing the memories of their dead loved ones who once battled with cancer. Some of the participants came from Ozamis and Iligan who flew to Cagayan de Oro so that they can attend the event.
The event was also organized to enthuse advocacy of encouragement, compassion, and awareness among all participants led by Honey Mangubat, a breast cancer survivor who fought her illness alone while she was working in other countries.
According to Mangubat, the main goal and objective of the event is also to show to normal people that breast cancer survivors are also happy a people and that there is more to life after battling cancer. Through dancing, they aim to show to other people that they did not lost to cancer.
