Creations by Alison Shane: Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Happy Thursday!
It's almost the weekend!

It's that month again. The month that you see pink everywhere. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so of course we created a collection to help in that awareness.

I started this collection last year because my mother in law was diagnoses with stage three inflammatory breast cancer. She is now considered "no evidence of cancer" after a rough year.
So in honor of her struggle, and anyone else who may have been affected by this disease sometime in their life, this collection started.

Since these items are available all year round, it's more like breast cancer awareness all year long. During the month of October, 100% of the money made from this collections sales are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Last year we were able to donate $17 to this organization. I know that might not seem like much, but every little bit can help.

What do we do with the money from sales the rest of  the year, you ask? 100% of the money gets donated too, just in a different way. Creations by Alison Shane chooses one person a year who has been affected by breast cancer and donates to help pay for medical bills.
For the year 2014 the candidate is my mother-in law, Jennifer Galloway.

So here are some items from the Breast Cancer Awareness Collection, "Think Pink"

Bracelets




Flower Clip


Knit Blanket


Adult Headbands



 Brooches
