The Brides’ Project donates ALL PROFITS to The Canadian Cancer Society, The Breast Cancer Foundation , Camp Quality and several other related organizations that help fight cancer and/or support those afflicted.

Our role is simple.  We are a 3rd party fundraiser that provides necessary funds to help these organizations in the fight against cancer.

Things like a gown for your wedding day are an easy way to make a contribution, but there are many other ways.  Just ask us.  We also invite other vendors to join our network, with the proviso of donating at least a percentage of the income from our referrals to charity.  We strongly believe that a wedding can make a huge difference in the social consciousness of society at the same time as being the hallmark of the beginning of a new family unit.   And all this can happen without compromising elegance, beauty or quality.  It can also happen on a budget.  And, we’ve found, that these efforts also happen to be GREEN!  Yes, you can have a fabulous wedding that is socially conscious, environmentally conscious, and financially savvy.

We also believe in supporting YOU in your own efforts to support cancer charities… and will help sponsor you in your own efforts to get out there and make a difference.  We believe in taking positive action, and seeing others make the same move.  Let us know if you have events we can share or vendors you have found who will take part.  We welcome your ideas to help find a cure through weddings.

Our gifts are not always monetary donations; we also donate dresses and/or accessories to other groups such as Arts Junktion, Ballroom Blitz and several others who use them for fundraising or direct service provision to their clientele. Check out some photos from events we participate in.

Update: This year (2010) we will also be trying to find funds to support Wellspring.  I love this organization because it focuses on the psychosocial side of cancer, and provides umpteen ways to support men, women, children and families battling the disease.

“Wellspring is an innovative network of centres providing high-quality cancer support, education and coping skills to a growing number of individuals, family members and professional caregivers in Canada. Wellspring programs are free of charge and open to individuals and caregivers who are coping with any type of cancer, at any stage.  They include individual and group support, coping skills, expressive therapies, energy work and educational workshops and presentations and are housed at
warm, non-institutional Wellspring centres.”
