Brides Against Breast Cancer wedding gown sale planned

BRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER WEDDING GOWN SALE RETURNS
TO Los Angeles NOVEMBER 5, 6 & 7, A YEAR AFTER THEFT
Los Angeles Brides Can Make Wishes Come True When Buying their Wedding Dress

WHO: The Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation will bring 2,000 beautiful, name brand and designer wedding gowns, donated by manufacturers, designers, bridal shops, and individuals to Los Angeles brides-to-be through its Brides Against Breast Cancer charity wedding gown sale. Dresses range in price from $99 to $1300, including designer gowns valued at up to $15,000, sizes 4 to 24. Most dresses are at least 50% off. Dress donations will also be accepted at the event.
WHAT: The Brides Against Breast Cancer charity wedding gown sale is a benefit for the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. The organization grants wishes for stage 4, terminal breast cancer patients, providing a special time for “making memories” with their families. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the three-day sale will directly benefit the organization’s “Dream Fulfillment Fund.”

Last November the organization suffered a major set back when their truck and $3 million dollars worth of wedding gowns were stolen just four days before their West Hollywood event. Through donations from bridal manufacturers and an outpouring of support from Los Angeles residents the foundation went from 20 dresses in the local collection to 1500. At stake were 12 Christmas wishes from people with not much time to live. “It was really the LA community that granted these wishes for terminal breast cancer patients. Through LA’s gracious support we raised over $106,000 and granted every one of those holiday wishes, “ said LA Chairperson Suzanne Appel.
