October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Breeze Comfort, the makers of the most breathable padded bras and sports bras out there (which we reviewed back in March), are doing their part to help bring awareness and much-needed donations to help breast cancer survivors.
Starting today and throughout the month of October, Breeze Comfort will donate 10% of their proceeds to My Hope Chest, an organization that funds breast reconstruction for breast cancer survivors. The organization was founded in 2003 by Alisa Savoretti who is a Las Vegas showgirl and breast cancer survivor herself. Not having insurance at the time of her diagnosis, Savoretti underwent a mastectomy and returned to Las Vegas just five months after chemotherapy, taking the stage as the “Lop-Sided Showgirl.”
Through her own life experience, Alisa Savoretti founded My Hope Chest after realizing the significant gap in treatment and quality of treatment that exists for uninsured women who undergo mastectomies. My Hope Chest is the only national breast reconstruction organization that is working to help uninsured women receive the breast reconstruction surgery that, in many cases, their self-esteem and confidence relies on.
In addition to donating 10% of their proceeds throughout the month to My Hope Chest, Breeze Comfort has also taken 30% off all of their pink bras. Use coupon code 30OFF at checkout to receive the discount.
I love the month of October, at every turn there is a way for me to donate to the cure for cancer. Check out all your favorite things, they just might be donating this month. Our volleyball team sells pink shirts for the cause, as well as the football team.
I am a breast cancer survivor and I love October. I think it is amazing how Breeze Comfort is stepping up to the plate and donating. Thank you for sharing. Now it is off to go and get a pink bra for the cause.
Great article Holly. We need to get as much awareness out there as we can.
