This blog has always been about all things wedding, but today I want to talk about something that has affected more than 200,000 women a year, Breast Cancer. This past weekend I had the honor of being part of a special fundraising event for a dear friend of mine. Angie is a twelve year survivor of Breast Cancer!
In the past when I’ve been involved in raising money for Breast cancer it’s been in honor of those who have passed on such as my Grandmother. It was amazing to finally celebrate someone that has conquered the battle and is living life to its fullest! And Angie is an icon of those who have survived and has educated others on Breast Cancer. In addition she started her own charity called Angie’s Angels whose main goal is to help raise money to help support finding a cure to Breast Cancer. And this year, with the help of her dear friends Tammy and Kimberly, they decided to hold a benefit celebrating life! With over a year of planning the most amazing event happened with over 250 attendants! This event would not have happened without the help of family & friends and Mr. Xmas helping with the décor!
For a mere $15.00 guest enjoyed an evening of amazing food prepared by Chef Rick and danced the night away with a local DJ company that donated their time to the cause. When guest weren’t eating or dancing they were checking out the amazing “baskets” that were being raffled off during the night. All the “baskets” were donated to the event and they were over the top!! A very special thanks needs to go out to the aunts that took it to the next level!!! At the end of the evening Angie’s Angels raised $4000 for the cause!!!
Angie, thank you so much for allowing Mark and I to be part of this amazing event! It was so awesome to see so many people come together and celebrate life and help fund a cure. Next year is going to be even better than this year and I’m so excited to help you in whatever needs you might have! Love you!!!
