WRAL-FM welcomed women of the Triangle to MIX 101.5’s First Annual Lipstick Luncheon on Saturday, May 31, 2008. This exclusive event featured experts in the fields of health, beauty, and fashion all for a great cause – a portion of proceeds will support Interact of Wake County. Interact is a private, non-profit, United Way agency that provides safety, support, and awareness to victims and survivors of domestic violence and rape/sexual assault.

The First Annual Lipstick Luncheon was held at the Hilton North Raleigh, and hosted 450 women in attendance.
