The Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to granting wishes for stage IV breast cancer patients.Every year, they go "on the road" to over 40 cities to host their Brides
Against Breast Cancer Nationwide Tour of Gowns event. The event gives local brides-to-be the opportunity to find their dream gowns while making wishes come true for breast cancer patients. It is an opportunity for new brides to donate their dresses for a wonderful cause. The brides mail their dresses to the organization throughout the year.All gowns featured at the events have been donated by famous designers, retailers, manufacturers and individuals. Gown sizes range from 2-28 and are marked down by about 35% to 75%. Prices start at just $99. Couture gowns are also available, some valued at $8,000.
