Pink Pumpkin Painting Party In Support Of Breast Cancer Awareness…

Event Details

In Memory of Mela's mother, & those who have been affected by Breast Cancer, we are so excited to host our 3rd annual fundraising event! This year we have partnered with Rosemary Square Garden for the biggest "Here For The Boo(b)s" event ever to raise money for a cause very dear to us.

Our goal is to raise money to make bras for women with mastectomies in poor countries who cannot afford to purchase mastectomy bras on their own or have access to them.

Treats By: Rosemary Square Garden, PLANTA, Angies Epicurean, Flormosura and more...

Location: In front of the Garden Shoppe in Rosemary Square Garden.

Notes: This evening includes lite bites, supplies, pumpkins, dessert, bubbly and goodies for you to take home.

WEAR PINK!

HISTORY:

We became aware of the need for post-mastectomy items in developing countries when Mela’s mom was in her 3rd stage of breast cancer treatment. She had a single sided mastectomy and found that mastectomy bras weren’t as available for other women like herself.

Women diagnosed with breast cancer must often travel to have their mastectomy surgery in a larger city and then return home without aftercare or post-mastectomy products, leaving them with no solution to a flat chest on either one or both sides of their body. We began collecting gently-used breast prostheses and mastectomy bras to send overseas.

The post-mastectomy products available in North America are unheard of in small towns and villages in central america and other developing nations. We need your help to make these products more available to the women who need them.

Locally we are blessed to have access to these items, not to mention healthcare or private insurance, government assistance, and even charitable funding for those in financial need following breast cancer. Access and financing to these items abroad is very limited. Finances are limited too.

With this event, we will be able to fund our new organization to start collecting,creating, and making mastectomy bras for women in poor countries, specifically Costa Rica.

We will be working with local designers to help make beautiful bras for these women in memory of Mela, our CEO, mother.

Our goal is to raise more and more funds every
