Charity of Choice - June - Headbands of Hope
So June's charity of choice was a a little different than my normal $100 donation. I found this absolutely amazing charity called Headbands of Hope. A college student from North Carolina University started this charity after an internship with Make-A-Wish. She worked with many young girls that had cancer and because of the cancer had lost her hair. She saw the impact on the self-esteem of these young girls and wanted to do something about it. So, she created Headbands of Hope.
For each beautiful headband you buy, a little girl with cancer gets one too! And $1 goes to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. What a great idea! So I bought 3 headbands (2 shabby, 1 glitter). They are absolutely gorgeous! I am going to buy a beaded one soon and a lace one. I'm so excited.
I absolutely love this charity because I couldn't imagine what life would be like if I lost my hair. Seeing the young girls at my hospital without hair makes me so sad, but things like this give them hope and make them feel beautiful. I'm so touched by this young girl's dream and I am so happy that she is doing something about it.
Charity of Choice - July - Stand Up To Cancer
Baseball season is in full swing. It is my favorite time of year. I am obsessed with baseball. I love everything about it. The smell of the grass, the bright lights, the food and the game itself. I love the strategy, the rivalry and the Red Sox! In honor of baseball, I am donating to Stand Up To Cancer.
MLB is a major supporter of Stand Up to Cancer. Here is a little bit about them from their website:
Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. SU2C is bringing together the best and the brightest researchers and encouraging collaboration instead of competition among the entire cancer community. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C creates awareness and builds broad public support for this effort.
I am so happy to support this organization and go Red Sox!
