In 2004, at age 36, Stephanie Robin, a Boca Raton mother of two small
children, was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She tested positive
for the Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA) and underwent a double mastectomy
with reconstruction, a total hysterectomy and months of chemotherapy.
The cancer returned to her lungs and is stage IV; she is receiving monthly
treatment at Memorial Sloan- Kettering and the tumors have decreased in
size by 90 percent.

She and her friends Elizabeth Weprin, Kathy Fleishman and Amy Seidman
established Think Pink Rocks. Working with Steve Rifkind, chairman of
SRC Records/Universal, and producer, Kelley Lee, for the fourth year they
have organized the Think Pink Rocks concert to advocate for early detection
of breast cancer, to raise awareness of the BRCA gene for breast and ovarian
cancer, and to raise funds for breast cancer research charities.
