Every week, 437 Canadian women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Chances are, someone you love has had to fight this terrible disease: a friend, sister, mother or daughter…maybe even you.
Tina Dezsi, from the Power of Women Exchange (POWE) and Tamara McKee, from East of the City magazine invite you to join them at Class Act Dinner Theatre in Whitby, ON Canada
on June 7, 2011, for Stilettos for the Cure, a fundraising event with all proceeds benefitting the Heather Griffith Breast Assessment Centre in conjunction with the Oshawa Hospital Foundation. Class Act will be transformed into the region’s largest shoe closet for this very special event.
Stilettos for the Cure will feature a live and silent stiletto auction, dozens of door prizes and many special surprises. The goal is to raise funds for cancer research and support in Durham Region and encourage women to book a mammogram and take charge of their health.
Stilettos for the Cure aims to raise more than $25,000 for the centre, which opens officially on April 7, 2011. Both Tina,Tamara and their dedicated team, are highly motivated and determined to exceed this goal. Already, in its infancy, the event has garnered much support. Sponsorship opportunities exist.
To succeed in their fundraising objectives, they are asking for donations of one or more pairs of your most fabulous stilettos/dress sandals: these shoes will go on auction and the funds raised will go directly toward the cause.
Shoes can be mailed to
