Wedding Gowns with an Impact
By Alyse Mier
One of the most important days of your life is the day you walk out of a fitting room wearing a wedding gown that is meant to be the one. However, what if along with purchasing the perfect gown you could impact the life of a woman suffering from breast cancer?
The nonprofit organization Brides Against Breast Cancer has been helping women find their perfect wedding gown and spread breast cancer awareness with their annual Tour of Gowns. This bridal expo visits about 120 cities each year and sells discounted designer wedding gowns to future brides. 80 percent of proceeds go toward providing free services to the families of those women affected by breast cancer through Health Support Nework.
Through the Health Support Network programs such as: exercise, nutrition, meditation, education and caregiver support are provided to cancer patients. These programs are meant to help the battle against breast cancer and ensure that women do not feel as if they are alone in this fight. Brides Against Breast Cancer had made it its goal to ensure that those affected by breast cancer have the resources and information they need to battle cancer.
If you would like to get involved now is your chance. The Tour of Gowns will be making a stop in Miami August 22nd and 23rd. You can help by donating your gown or even purchasing a gown.
Your wedding day can now be a day of pure bliss and joy knowing that you greatly influenced someone’s life.
