Invitation to the second annual Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink, an event benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The event was founded by Maria Baum, co-owner of Tutto Il Giorno (yummy!!!) and immediately joined by Lisa Perry, fashion designer and owner of Lisa Perry Style. Last year, Mario Avila Design/MAD created the event identity working with Lisa Perry. It is great to work with someone who understands design and loves colors. In the 2013 event promotional materials MAD built on the established brand, applying the graphics and bright colors across the board.
