Brides Against Breast Cancer is holding a charity wedding gown sale in NYC on August 17-19, with all proceeds benefiting Making Memories.
Every year Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation receives thousands of beautiful designer wedding gowns from bridal shops, manufacturers, and individuals across the nation. A foundation dedicated to helping terminally ill breast cancer patients, Making Memories has received over 25,000 wedding gowns for their nationwide “Brides Against Breast Cancer” events, including 2,500 brand new gowns that were recently donated by a national bridal gown manufacturer.
Shopping at a “Brides Against Breast Cancer” event is a great way to find a fabulous gown and save hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars, while making wishes and dreams come true for terminal patients.
The sale will feature new and used gowns from designers like Anne Barge, Carolina Herrera, Paula Varsalona and stores like Kleinfelds and Mark Ingram. Normally priced up to $15,000, prices start at just $250 at this event. The sale will kick off with a VIP preview sale on August 17th where they will have gift bags, a free cocktail hour and a raffle including prizes like a $1000 Confetti Cake, custom menu card design by SonicStefdesigns and a 5 night luxury Honeymoon at Raffles Resort Canoun Island.
Brides Against Breast Cancer is currently seeking dress donations from brides, and volunteers for the event itself. Please contact Sarah @ sarahgarfunkel@yahoo.com to make a donation or to volunteer. Please forward this to your friends that are getting married and help us spread the word about this wonderful event!

What a great website full of great ideas! Unfortunately, i can’t find any info on the breast cancer event… ?
Ooooohh. It’s supposed to be makingmemories.ORG, not makingmemories.COM
I probably shouldn’t do this cause I want the best dress they have all to myself - but, the website you have is wrong. It’s .org, not .com!
My Mom fought breast cancer and won!! Our favors are donations to the Breast Cancer Society in honor of our guests.
My mom is also a breast cancer survivor! 5+ years and counting! It would’ve been nice to attend this event but i’ll be out of the country…
Weddingbee readers! Show your support!
