Brides........now is the time to think about getting your wedding gown, and what better way to shop than to know it is for a very worthy cause! Come to the Making Memories Bridal Gown Sale. Making Memories' mission is to grant wishes and memory-making events to terminally ill breast cancer patients and to educate the public about the best practices to prevent metastatic breast disease.
Their goal is to provide individuals and their families with a special time together, away from the realities of the disease and financial concerns. We desire that everyone losing their fight against breast cancer, pass from this world comforted by the joy of having left one final beautiful memory of his or her family.
Last year, my husband Dave and I, volunteered for the event, we moved gowns by the truckload to a central area and put them on racks in anticipation of the brides arriving the next day to get some great deals! There are hundreds of gowns to browse through, exquisite, name brand and designer wedding gowns, $99 to $799 donated by manufacturers, retailers, designers, and individuals valued up to $8,000. This is a WIN - WIN situation, brides are able to get a beautiful gown at a reasonable price, or brides can turn in their used gown for tax deduction purposes, and all proceeds benefit the Brides Against Breast Cancer.
This is a wonderful event for brides, bridesmaids, mothers of brides, aunts and counsins or brides, EVERY woman who every loved wedding gowns, and professionals who want to come and help volunteer for this worthwhile event.
