While advocating a cause by donating our time, money or voice surely makes a difference, it’s going a step further that sparks a movement. The support of designers, manufacturers and bridal retailers around the world, as well as individual donations, has been the driving force behind a non-profit organization that is thoughtfully impacting men and women battling cancer.

Offering the opportunity for others to pour into the community of cancer patients and their caregivers and family members, past brides can donate their gown to Brides Against Breast Cancer, and brides-to-be can give back by purchasing a gown through the organization (gown prices range from $99 to $799 with designers gowns valued up to $3,900).
