www.eventmarketer.com: On Nov. 5, 2021, 23-year-old Madison Dubiski was one of 10 concertgoers who lost their lives in the Astroworld Festival tragedy. About 50,000 people gathered at NRG Park in Houston to watch rapper Travis Scott perform when chaos ensued from a crowd crush, resulting in 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries. When a pink bow was placed at the stadium following the event, among flowers and candles honoring the victims, it started a movement: #PinkBowsForMadison.

I remember when the Astroworld tragedy happened. It was all over the news and a lot of people (me included) were wondering just how something like this was possible. Why weren't there more safeties put in place? Now, we know that there were safeties, they just weren't followed at the time. It is very heartwarming to see that after experiencing the tragedy of losing their daughter, the Dubiskis are trying to make sure nothing like that happens to anyone again. I was really surprised when learning about the Showstop Procedure, as I feel like that is something that should have absolutely been widely implemented earlier. However, late is better than never, and it is really good that the Pink Bows Foundation is working to teach people this procedure that will likely save lives one day. It is also really sweet that the Pink Bows Foundation is also working with the community. Giving and funding scholarships for community leaders and those studying crowd safety will undoubtedly help a lot of people, and make it easier for people to receive higher education.
