Here’s a Golden Opportunity to make a purchase of some beautiful golden earrings and at the same time help impoverished children around the world. Rebecca Dotson over at the Bridal Jewelry Blog is running a fundraiser to help the Through Their Eyes Campaign being run by wedding photographer David Hessemer. She has specially designed this special pair of earrings she’s named “Golden Opportunity” of which 50% of the proceeds will go be donated to the campaign.

Hi everyone, I wanted to start the week by spreading the word about how we in the wedding community can support a great cause, helping breast cancer patients and their families. The Making Memories Foundation has an ongoing fund-raising event called Brides Against Breast Cancer.

Brides Against Breast Cancer raises funds through the sale of donated wedding dresses at over 32 shows around the United States each year. Sales are made up of dresses donated by newly married brides, as well as brand new dresses donated by manufacturers and designers. These dresses are then sold at a big discount over their retail price.

Those who donate get a tax deduction, brides-to-be get a great discount on their dress, and breast cancer patients and their families get the support they need.

The mission statement of the Making Memories Foundation is:

“To provide an opportunity for metastatic breast cancer patients’ dream or wish to be fulfilled by providing a special time of ‘Making Memories’ together with their families, a chance that might not have become a reality without the assistance of the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.”

“To advance the awareness of breast cancer and to educate the public about the vast resources and support available to breast cancer patients and their families.”

There are more ways to help this great cause than donating or buying a dress through their sales events. To find out how you can help, checkout the Brides Against Breast Cancer website. There you will also find a schedule of their gown sales events around the country.

See you tomorrow!
