Awesome Fundraisers

From the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, whose mission is to grant wishes, including memory-making events, for metastatic breast cancer patients, while continuing to support, educate and increase resource awareness. Brides Against Breast Cancer, which gives brides-to-be, an opportunity to find the wedding gown of their dreams (at an incredible savings) while making wishes and dreams come true. You can donate your gown and other wedding related items, they accept bridesmaid, mother of the bride and flower girl dresses, along with other wedding specific items such as veils, shoes, purses, slips, bras, etc... These items go to people who are losing their fight against breast cancer.

Through Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, there is also the Pink Envelope Project. "A Pink Envelope Project can be any personal fundraiser centered around an event, gathering, party, activity, or club that you attend or host. Whether the attendees are your circle of friends, a couples' gathering, or a work-related function, the goal is to use your creativity to help raise funds for the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. Use our pink donation envelopes as a tool to gather your funds."
