The local abc news is doing a story on the Brides Against Breast Cancer charity wedding gown event, and would like to feature a bride who is donating their dress or will donate their dress (perhaps you are a 2 dress bride and don’t know what do do with your second dress?) Filming would be approximately 11:30 -12:00 on Monday at the Prince George Ballroom on 27th street.

The dress does not have to be couture, in any perfect condition as they are taking all kinds. Please email sarahgarfunkel@yahoo.com asap if you are interested. They really need to get the word out about this sale, since they’ve had such spectacular success collecting gowns from designers and stores. If you know anyone who might be interested please help spread the word.

Steven Birnbaum and Robert Bullock of Birnbaum & Bullock will be attending the 6:30-8:30 pm VIP Night session of the Brides Against Breast Cancer Charity Wedding Gown Sale. The three day event features new and used gowns valued at up to $15,000, starting at only $250. The VIP event is your chance to have first access to the wide selection of donated designer dresses.

Brides.com is also sponsoring a VIP night discount that gives you $100 off the purchase of a dress on VIP night only!!!

In addition, here is some updated info on their gift bags and raffle items:

• Sue Devitt Beauty - Donating EZ Eye Rollerball with skin care samples to gift bags and is donating Microquatic Treatment Skin Line for the raffle.
• Landy Cognac Donating Gift Certificates for the gift bags and is donating a Cognac Ferrand private tasting certificate for 30 people (either in their home or office) for our raffle valued at $2500!
• We also have Dior lip gloss donated by LVMH for the gift bags.
