I personally can't think of anything better then wine, sexy photos and helping out other women!
All of October, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Balance Boudoir/Up-Do's For I Do's is working with the good folks at the Wine Bin to raise money for SOS ~ Survivors Offering Support.
SOS is an all volunteer organization of Breast Cancer survivors who have dedicated a portion of their time to help recently diagnosed women through the ordeal of treatment and recovery. Each volunteer/mentor must complete a four step training process that begins at the hospital where doctors brief them on treatment options and the pathology of the disease. In addition, volunteers/mentors are required to obtain two releases from doctors stating they are emotionally prepared to support a newly diagnosed patient. The local SOS organization supports Howard County General Hospital (HCGH), The Center for Breast Care and the dedicated and gifted doctors and nurses who practice there. Each year more than 125 women undergo breast cancer surgery at HCGH. This program is supported by a grant from the Susan G. Komen Maryland Affiliate.
Donating a boudoir shoot to this important cause couldn't be a better answer in helping to raise money for SOS. Stop by the Wine Bin and make a bid in our silent auction for the shoot - you'll get the complete treatment: hair and make-up provided by Up-Do's For I Do's as well as gorgeous, sexy rock star photos of yourself photographed by Rissa Miller with Balance Photography! And the entire amount raised will go to SOS! This is a shoot normally sold for $285.00 - and SOS will do a lot of good for women in need with those funds.
Come see us at the Wine Bin on Thursday October 29th from 6p.m. to 8p.m. So stop by, meet the photographer - as well as the hair and makeup artists that will make you into a supermodel at your shoot.
