Tattoos & Scars to Host Third Annual Tats for Ta-Tas Fundraiser for Womankind on October 9 

(Key West, FL). – Get ready to party with a purpose and raise your Koozies for Boobies at this year’s Tats for Ta-Tas Block Party Fundraiser at Tattoos & Scars Saloon on the corner of Ann and Greene Street in Old Town, Key West. This year’s cheeky charity event is set for Wednesday, October 9 from 7pm to 10pm and benefits Womankind in their mission of providing affordable or free quality healthcare, mammograms, and diagnostic breast testing for uninsured and underinsured women in Monroe County at their Key West and Marathon centers.

The anticipated annual event gives service industry workers and locals an evening of pre-season connection, irreverent revelry, and an opportunity to support women in their community while drawing attention to the importance of preventative breast health care and Womankind’s vital role in providing it with the support of Zonta.

“Prevention is Key,” says Womankind Executive Director Cali Roberts. “Each year Womankind coordinates with Zonta to give out hundreds of vouchers for mammograms, which are critical for early breast cancer detection and successful treatment.“

Held annually during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Tattoos & Scars Saloon  owner Casey Vinall and Key Lime Bike Tours owner Maria Gonzalez started Tats for Ta-Tas three years ago as a way to show their support.

Proceeds from the event’s liquor, merchandise, and “motorboat booth” ticket sales along with a silent auction of generous in-kind donations from local businesses have raised over $110,000 in the last two years. This year’s prizes include stays at Rum Bar, Marrero House, and Southernmost Mansion, a $700 private styling party at Kirby’s Closet, massage gift certificates from Love, Cheeky and Pier House, certificates from Hydration Station, a Sun Beach Cruiser donated by Key Lime Bike Tours, charters with Fury and Salty Bottom Boats, fine art, food, booze, a 50/50 raffle, and much more. Tickets can be purchased at the event or using the Venmo QR code found on Womankind & Tattoos & Scars social media sites. You can win even if you can’t make it to the event.

“We’re so grateful for all of the generous businesses here and this fantastic and fun event that helps remind people to make the appointment regardless of their money situation,” says Roberts. “It helps them know that the community has their back..and their front.”

Volunteers and additional tax-deductible, in-kind donations are sought to help support the event; contact Mel at [email protected] or call Womankind at 305-294-4004.  Direct Venmo donations can be made at @tatsfortatas. Visit womankindkeywest.com for more information.
