Pamper Party for Cancer

We had a wonderful Thursday evening. We took part in an event for the WVU Cancer Center held at the Forks of Cheat Winery in Morgantown, WV. We offered massages and manicures to the Cancer Center. Tickets cost $50.00. All proceeds went to the cancer center. The women received manicures, massages, facials, food, wine and could win prizes.

It was a great event. It is wonderful to get out of the spa/salon and work out in a winery and meet new people.

Volunteer

I have always tried my best to volunteer when I can.  As a college student I worked for Americorps, which is a division of the Peacecorps, and now I volunteer my time to a wonderful organization,  The Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Center.  

For the past 4 years I have chaired an event known as The Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Fashion Show.  It is absolutely a wonderful event.  Women of all ages come to enjoy and donate money to our organization.  We have cocktails, raffles, food, and fashion.

Although this event stresses me out, I have to say the night of the event makes it all worth the work we put into it.  The hi-lite of the evening is where we have breast cancer survivors as models and they walk the catwalk and we announce how long they have been a survivor.  The crowd goes wild and claps and shouts.  It honestly brings tears to your eyes.  If you are in the Morgantown, WV area and would like to join us.  The event is on Wednesday, October 8 at Lakeview Resort.  

If you ever get a chance to volunteer your time or money, try to.  It will make you feel like a million bucks.
