To conclude Pink October I wanted to blog about a pretty awesome website on this last wedding Wednesday in October – Brides Against Breast Cancer.
This is a program, put on by Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, that holds huge warehouse sales of reduced priced bridal gowns – usually between $99-$799 – and all proceeds go towards the breast cancer foundation. Dresses that are a part of the sale are donated, and
Additionally, they have the Pink Envelope Project, which makes a great bridal shower or wedding reception idea. On their website they describe the Pink Envelope Project as:
“To make your bridal shower more meaningful, we ask you to support the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation by having a Pink Envelope Bridal Shower.
With your shower invitations, include our special Pink Donation Envelopes asking your guests to make a donation to Making Memories on behalf of your bridal shower.At your bridal shower, you will gather the sealed envelopes and send them directly to the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.
We will feature your bridal shower on this website. At your bridal shower, please take pictures and we will post them on this site to show others the good that you are doing.”
The minimum donation requirement is $100 but if all the guests give something $100 isn’t much to come upon and with your donation, your bridal shower is featured on their website.
Both of these organizations are programs put on by the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. Their mission statement is to grant wishes for metastatic breast cancer patients while supporting, educating and increasing resource awareness.
So if you’re a bride who needs a dress, or if you’re trying to get rid of yours and want a good cause, I’d check out this organization, here’s a calendar of their events!
