Please help us raise money for breast cancer research!
This will be our 22nd year.
Let's make it our BEST EVER!!
Results: We raised $12,400!!!
Great job everyone! Thank you for your help, donations, and bids!!
New this year: please join us in writing a letter of encouragement that will be given to a woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer. These letters will be distributed by the organization called Girls Love Mail. www.girlslovemail.com
New this year: Deb Z., one of our customers, is going to have her hair cut and donated to Children With Hair Loss. How much she has cut off, depends on how much we raise!!! We raised $1390 and she cut off 24" of hair!!! Bobbi P, another customer, is a hairdresser and will do the honors at our event during the entertainment. To read about this organization go to www.childrenwithhairloss.us.
