4th Annual “Dress Drive” benefiting Brides Against Breast Cancer @ whiteCHICAGOFight Breast Cancer with your Wedding Gown – Is your wedding gown hanging in the closet or taking up space underneath your bed? Find a home for your beloved gown and support a worthy cause at the same time!
Throughout the month of March, whiteCHICAGO is dedicating the month to collecting gowns for donation to Brides Against Breast Cancer.
For the “dress drive,” whiteCHICAGO and Brides Against Breast Cancer are in need of contemporary style gowns, slips and veils that are less than 7 years old. Also, a copy of a tag or a receipt is helpful, as this will assist in pricing the dress and/or accessory for resale. Due to the extensive inventory of vintage, antique and retro gowns, we ask that you withhold your contribution of dresses that were designed prior to the year 2000. A non-for-profit organization, Brides Against Breast Cancer is hosting its annual gown sale at the Wyndham Chicago Hotel, April 2nd & 3rd, which proceeds enable Making Memories to grant wishes to breast cancer patients. Over the past three years, whiteCHICAGO and their brides have donated 200 wedding gowns, worth $575,000, to Brides Against Breast Cancer and hope to double that amount this year.
