Project Pink Greensboro 2011 Gown Sale

I was fortunate enough to be a part of a lovely event last month. There is an organization called Project Pink that grants wishes for patients living with stage IV breast cancer through their program Project JOY!, provide college scholarships to children who lost a parent to breast cancer, and to educate young women about breast health for the purpose of preventing metastatic disease. 

The gown sale took place at The Emerald Event Center in Greensboro. Great location if your looking for that all-in-one site. And was organzied by Behind the Scenes, Inc also of Greensboro. They also organized the recent David Tutera visit in Charlotte. If they can put something like that together, imagine how well your wedding will turn out. Consider them for your planning needs.
There were so many volunteers I couldn't begin to list them all, but I made several friends over the course of a weekend. Ory from Ory Alexander Owen Wedding Planner, Deidra of Memorable Milestones, Keisha of Infinite Bliss Events, LLC and many others, joined together to help set up, assist clients looking for a dress and then break down and pack up the event.

Allison wih Project Pink, Inc is planning sales up and down the east coast. They receive donations from many places; designers, manufacturers and store samples being a few. They have their own Dress Whisperer (Barb)          

who can make anything work and Hildegard and Marion find the perfect veil or accesories to match.  There is such a wide  price range and variety of informal to couture, everyone can find something. When you find that perfect dress Peter is there to complete the sale and get the dress ready for transport to your home. If you see a Project Pink sale nearby, please consider this worthy charity. 




Bring your family or bridesmaids and spend some time trying on all the lovely gowns available.  More photos on our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/AkiPhotography), stop by and look for Peter in his pretty hat!
