The Happy Canyon Night Show will partner with the Pendleton Round-Up’s Tough Enough To Wear Pink program this evening to lend its support for the campaign to get local teacher Katheryn Youngman – who is battling her third bout with cancer – on The Ellen Show.
Happy Canyon will attempt to fill its arena with pink-clad supporters. Happy Canyon organizers will take a photo of the sea of pink and send it to The Ellen Show, as well as post on Facebook. Youngman is a big fan of the comedian’s daytime talk show.
“Our goal is to get as many people as possible to stand for a photo in their best pink western gear inside the well-lit Happy Canyon Arena,” said Happy Canyon Publicity Director Corey Neistadt. “We’ve lost directors, volunteers, friends to cancer. We see this as a way to spit in the eye of that awful disease.”
The photo op will take place at 8:30 p.m., following a fundraiser dinner at Big John’s Pizza in Pendleton. Happy Canyon encourages anyone from the community to attend to show their support.
