Photos from The Gift of Life Project launch party at Hela Salon & Spa (January 25, 2012). The launch party was actually a few days after I got back from Berlin Fashion Week.
The Gift of Life Project is a collaborative program that encourages women in the Washington, DC area to be proactive about their breast health. Every person who visits Capital Breast Care Center for their mammogram will be entered into a monthly raffle for a chance to win a portrait session and several spa and salon services from Hela.
Pretty cool! Also, we ended up raising close to $500 that night by selling scarves and boxed cards ($40 each for the box cards).
Why go to Capital Breast Care Center? They provide comprehensive, culturally appropriate breast cancer screening services and health education to women in the DC metropolitan area, regardless of their ability to pay. Every insured woman who receives her mammogram at CBCC helps enable an uninsured woman to receive access to breast health care services.

| In case you're wondering, I'm wearing all Hugo Boss. And for the record, I now dress for my 7 yr old niece who thinks I'm fashionable. Cora says: "It means you're stylish, fancy clothes, and he looks cool." |
