Jodi Hamling at the Fabulous Bridal Affair
Portland, January 7th. Blushing brides converged on the Crown Plaza Portland Hotel searching for the perfect wedding dresses. Jodi Hamling was one of many who liked what they saw at the FABulous Bridal Affair. Event organizer, Fran Hansen gives brides a discount if they pledge to donate to their favorite nonprofit.
One charity near and dear to Hansen’s heart is Breast Cancer Research. She urges brides to donate money to a charity instead of giving away wedding favors and use Breast Cancer Research Stamps for all of their wedding mailings.
The Breast Cancer Research Stamp is issued by the United States Postal Service, priced in 2011 as eleven cents higher than the standard first-class letter rate. The surplus is collected and allocated to the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense for breast cancer research.
Shelby Mitchell encouraged brides to support St Jude's Hospital and Anna Hogan supports Autism Speaks
Organizers say their goal is to help brides remember to think of less fortunate people as they celebrate this happy time. Brides say they like the charity awareness aspect of the shopping experience.
