It’s only 5 days away!!! And our CIBC Run for the Cure team, “Bling for Boobies” has been working hard to raise as much money as we can to support the fight against breast cancer!
- We have been raising money as individuals and as a team through our “Bling for Boobies” team and through in store donations.
- $1.00 of every purchase and $10 from every purchase over $1000 is also going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and we still have until the end of October to continue to contribute!!
And there’s more!!!
- Every purchase of over $250 gets a ballot to win our ‘Pink Gold Breast Cancer Ribbon Canadian Diamond Pendant’!
- For each “Survivor Collection” piece of jewellery sold, 5% of the purchase price will be donated!
As October is Breast Cancer awareness month we are pleased to help make a difference through all of our donations.
Last year was our first year participating in the run, and this year we are even bigger and stronger! We have 14 people on our team so far, but we would love to have even more!!! If you would like to join our team please e-mail us at sales@euopeangoldsmith.com or send us a message on our Facebook page. Every participant will receive one of our “Bling for Boobies” t-shirts, just tell us your size! We will be meeting at the Sails across from Earls at 9:00 a.m Sunday morning October 5th, downtown Kelowna. The run starts at 10:00 a.m.
Our 2013 team!
We look forward to seeing you all there!
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women. And it is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian women. Nearly everyone in Canada knows a person who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, whether it is a friend, a friend of a friend, a sister, a mother, a daughter, or a wife. We all know or have known someone who has had to battle with this disease.The Breast Cancer Society of Canada believes that every dollar Canadians donate to breast cancer research brings us one step closer to discovering the cause of breast cancer, better methods to prevent and detect it, treatments that are more effective and improving the quality of life for survivors.
