Spotlight
The Pink Ribbon Effect would not be possible without the hard work of our volunteers and generous support of our sponsors. We want to take a moment to spotlight those who go above and beyond to make our passion projects and fundraising events a success. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I wanted to include tiny pillows in the MammoTotes, but I had no idea who to get to sew them. I put a request on Facebook, and a good friend took the post and sent it to her faculty. Within the hour, Crystal Smith responded. She not only volunteered, but she also volunteered her daughter and her mother to make 50 mini pillows! What makes these pillows even more special is they were made by a recent Survivor, Crystal! I cannot thank Crystal Smith, her daugter Adilyn McDowell, nor Crystal's mom Kathy Wilson enough for their sacrifce and pure kindness.
On Nov. 18, I picked up a second batch of pillows. Thank you to Dawn, Emerald, and Debbie (who is also a Breast Cancer survivor) for answering my request for an additional 50+ pillows. I am incredibly appreciative of these ladies!
Additional items going in the MammoTotes will be Arnica & drain holders. Thank you to Boiron for the in-kind donation of Arnica and the Warrior Sisters' help with drain holders! These items positively add to a Breast Cancer patient's quality of life.
After many emails, I found The Warrior Sisters who were able to give me a great price on their Jackson-Pratt Drain holders. I know these are so very helpful during recovery! https://warriorsistersllc.com/
Another SHOUT OUT to Accurate Manufacturing for their generous addition to the MammoTotes with their gel packs! These are PERFECT!
The Pink Ribbon Effect believes in supporting women in all aspects of their journey, and that includes feeling confident and beautiful. That's why we're thrilled to work with partner with Adora from Shear Passion to offer complimentary hair washes to women who have recently undergone a mastectomy or double mastectomy. Adora's kindness and expertise are invaluable during a challenging time, and we're honored to work with such a wonderful business.
The MammoTotes wouldn't be possible without the help from North Beach Plastic Surgery. Thank you Dr. Jablonka for your kidness & support! 25 of 100 MammoTotes have been delivered!
