Benefit raises money for breast cancer

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) - A benefit called the "Pink Party" was held at the Oxbow Marina in Northampton on Friday night.

The event raised money for breast cancer.

Event organizers asked for a $10 parking donation as you drove through the gate.

The water skiers range in age from five to 60-years-old, and they put on quite a show.

The director of the event told 22News why attendance at the event was so crucial.

"We love helping out people and we love doing ski shows in front of people. We thought it'd be a great match, we are not out here to make money for ourselves, just enough to keep the shows because we love water skiing," said John Benjamin.

Because of Friday's raindrops, they are adding another show on Thursday, July 23rd.
