Dear Gal Pals -
What an exciting way to launch National Breast Cancer Awareness Month -being a guest on the Martha Stewart show!...
Although at Design-her Gals, every month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, October is a wonderful opportunity to join together for a very important cause. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one woman dies of breast cancer on average every 13 minutes. My cousin Robin, and our dear friend Janis were two of these women. Because of them we realized that as important as it is to find the cure and continue funding research - we must dedicate resources to men and women that are living with advanced stages of breast cancer today. That is exactly what the Gal to Gal Foundation is doing.
This year, the funds that are raised will be going to Making Memories (www.makingmemories.org), a wonderful organization that fulfills wishes for Stage 4 breast cancer patients and their families. In addition, we will be helping sponsor the first global internet site designed exclusively for patients in advanced stages of breast cancer. This site will be multi-tiered and multi purpose and will serve as a centralized location for all Stage IV resources.
We need your help this month to reach our goal of $50,000. We can do it! In addition to buying products on our site (from which Design-her Gals donates 10% of the net proceeds) - this month we also have many other companies who are also joining our cause. The following list are those companies that are helping us reach our goals. Please support them!
MD Skincare - 10% purchases year round
Palm Beach Pearls - 50% profits from Terry Bracelet, Goosy Gear - 20% sales from Comfy Fleece Hats, Black Bags - 10% sales, Kimono Momo - X% sales of pink scarves, Frosted Brownie - 100% profits from Gal to Gal bracelets, Chat Chew & Chocolate - designated national charity, Wellness & Beyond - 100% profits from Arbonne products, MommyTrack'd - 10% sales from notepads, Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon - 100% DHG commissions, Ready Set Shoppe - 10% sales from web design packages, TeePee for Me - 10% all website sales.
