Brides Against Breast Cancer Foundation

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be involved in the Brides Against Breast Cancer wedding gown sale. It's truly an amazing experience knowing that each gown sold will be helping a breast cancer patient fulfill their wish. One of the most touching stories I have heard from the founder of the organization, Fran Hansen, was a young mother, requesting a video camera, and she recorded birthday messages, prom messages, wedding messages, and as many occasions as she can think of that her children may need to hear and see her. The camera may not have cost a lot of money, but the gift allowed her children to have a lifetime of memories with their mother.

This was their first event in Oklahoma City, and we hope they will come back every year from now on. We took a few photos from the event, it was held at the Holiday Inn on N.W. 63rd St.



This is the co-founder, Fran Hansen.
