Creative Fundraising
I spend a lot of time thinking about breast cancer fundraising because I know that is the fastest road to a cure. And a cure is what all of us who've been touched by breast cancer in any way are working and fighting for.
The Young Survival Coalition has come up with a very unique and pop cultural way of raising fund for breast cancer. Here is their latest endeavor:
Designers from Bravo's hit reality show Project Runway will be challenged to cre
ate a winning outfit from whatever they can grab in five minutes at Hershey's Times Square. Due to YSC's partnership with Hershey, Project Runway and the world's elite chocolate maker are collaborating and will donate the proceeds of this week's episode to the YSC. The designs can be seen on Hershey's Project Runway page or on the Project Runway website.
Details on viewing and bidding on these unique creations will be available soon at www.youngsurvival.org and at www.bravotv.com.
You can watch the "Eye Candy" challenge from Project Runway Season 4 at bravotv.com. Upcoming show times on Bravo TV include:
- Sunday, January 6th: Noon and 2:00 a.m.
- Monday, January 7th: 9:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, January 8th: Noon, 1:00 a.m.
- Wednesday, January 9th: 9:00 (immediately preceeding next week's new episode
"Eye Candy" will be shown throughout the season; see the Project Runway schedule for complete broadcast information.
This sounds like fun. I'll definitely be watching!

1. Good Morning! I have breast cancer. I am very interested in how fundraising works. My income is very low and I am stuck in my job to keep my 1/2 paid for benefits. My expenses exceed my income by over $400 per month! I have been borrowing money, going to dinner with friends and went from a seemingly loving live-in relationship to you need to leave "I have to live my life ya know" when I told him I had cancer. I now live in a boarding facility.
I have triple negative aggressive cancer and after 5 operations I am only grateful for that my cancer has stayed in my breast...I await my final PET SCAN.
Please, I am very interested in your fundraising.
Thank you

2. Kristia, your last name "grabbed" me! Do you have relatives in the Tampa, Florida or Houson, Texas area? -- I am a 59 year old breast cancer "survivor" and pray the best for you!
