The Breast Dress Project

There are so many fundraising organizations out there looking to get their hands on your money. While each of these groups is out to serve a good cause, with the economy being what it is these days donating your dollars may not be a realistic option.

The Breast Dress Project is an initiative that was launched this past November. What's so fantastic about this program is that you don't have to dig into your pockets and spend money that you wouldn't have spent otherwise in order to help. The fundraising structure is pretty straightforward:

1. The Breast Dress Project collects gently used dresses from brides whose weddings have come and gone. This frees up a bit of space in their closets for new stuff AND supports a great cause;

2. TBDP then sells the dresses to future brides-to-be who want to look fabulous on their wedding day AND support a great cause; and

3. Then TBDP donates the proceeds from the purchased dresses to support breast cancer research.

Jamie Johnston, one of the project's co-founders, is fighting a personal battle with breast cancer right now. Your support will help to arm her, and millions like her, with the right tools to fight back and beat this for good.

The organization's website is under construction but you can check out their Facebook page here. If you have a dress you want to donate or if you'd like more information on The Breast Dress Project you can contact Jamie Johnston at 613-723-5755 / jamie@groovylinen.com.

I also invite any of you who have your own blogs to post about this project and help spread the word.
