About Brides Against Breast Cancer

Location:

6279 Lake Osprey Drive, Sarasota, FL 34240, US

Mission Statement

Brides Against Breast Cancer contributes to free programs and services offering support, education and hope to cancer patients and their families. Our outreach and educational efforts during our "Tour of Gowns" bridal shows around the country help ensure that people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge and strengthened by action.

Description

Wedding gown sales are an important fund-raising event for Brides Against Breast Cancer. Our more than 50 yearly shows provide brides-to-be with an opportunity to find their dream gown (at an incredible savings), while contributing to services that provide support, education and hope to men and women affected by breast cancer.
The worldwide support of designers, manufacturers, bridal shops and individuals (who donate a most treasured possession) make possible our Nationwide Tour of Gowns sales.
This unique opportunity allows brides-to-be a chance to find the gown of their dreams at a remarkable price. Most gown prices range from $99 to $799, including hundreds of beautiful new, brand name and designer gowns valued up to $8,000. Exclusive designer and couture gowns valued up to $20,000 are also available at an incredible 25% to 75% savings!
Our Brides Against Breast Cancer program has received more than 50,000 wedding gown donations, with an estimated resale value of over 4 million dollars. This generous endowment is due in part to national media coverage, including magazine articles in Redbook, Family Circle, Woman’s Day, Martha Stewart’s Winter Wedding, Time, Philanthropy World and Modern Bride, along with appearances on Oprah Winfrey, CNN, MSNBC, Ananda Lewis and hundreds of television and newspaper interviews.

More than half the gowns presented during each event are NEW designer gowns that arrived directly from designers, manufacturers and bridal retailers.
