ProfileWhat is the "Brides Against Breast Cancer" Charity Wedding Gown Sale?
Brides Against Breast Cancer is the Making Memories Foundation’s number one fund-raising event across the nation. Over 32 bridal gown sales events every year enable brides-to-be to find the gown of their dreams (at an incredible savings) while making wishes and dreams come true for women and men diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
Prices for the gowns range from $89 to $799, including hundreds of beautiful, new, name brand and designer gowns valued up to $4,000.
Wedding gowns that originally sold between $4,000 and $10,000 can be purchased from $399 to $999.
We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express as payment for gowns.
REMEMBER – over ½ of the gowns available during each event are new designer gowns that have come directly from bridal shops and manufactures. We have sizes 4 to 44 in a wide range of styles and fabrics. Slips, veils, shoes and other accessories are available in some cities.
