Enjoy a night of shopping and socializing during “Teal & Tango: A Girl’s Night Out.”

The event will take place Sept. 8, during National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

It will begin at 6 p.m. at The Gardens Mall, 3101 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens.

Benefiting Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper (H.O.W.), guests will shop for exclusive items, enjoy raffles, drinks, goody bags and entertainment.

Participating stores at the event include LORI Optical, Sam Edelman, Vera Bradley and makeup demos by Bloomingdale’s Laura Mercier Cosmetics.

Jen Brown, an Angel Fund recipient and patient advocate for H.O.W., will share her personal story of courage and survival.

“‘Teal & Tango’ is a great event for a very worthy cause,” said Alexa Bartusiak, H.O.W. program director. “There are many components that make H.O.W. an organization that has a lasting effect on the community. H.O.W. funds research in ovarian cancer, supports gynecologic oncology training fellowships for physicians who will care for women with ovarian cancer, presents educational programs concerning the recent advances being made in ovarian cancer, funds medical students interested in gynecologic oncology and helps local women with ovarian cancer in financial need through the Jacquie Liggett Angel Fund.”

This year’s sponsors are The Gardens Mall, Wilmington Trust and Bluewater Babes Charitable Trust.

Tickets are $20.
