Donate Your Wedding Gown

Is your wedding gown hanging in your closet or packed away in a box in the closet? Think about why you are keeping it. Chances are, styles will change before your daughter or anyone else gets to wear the gown again. If you think you can bear to part with it (and gain some valuable storage space), here is a great cause and resource.

Brides Against Breast Cancer is part of the Making Memories charitable organization, granting wishes to men and women who are terminally ill with breast cancer. By conducting national sales of donated wedding gowns, the organization is able to support families in a difficult time.

The organization is currently in need of contemporary gown styles (year 2000 and later) and accessories. They ask for a $40 donation in addition to the gowns to cover costs for cleaning and preparing the dresses for sale. Visit http://www.bridesagainstbreastcancer.org for full information on donating guidelines.

I donated my wedding gown here two years ago, and it made it easier to part with knowing that I could help a cause so important to me.
