Laura’s List: Books for Women, Positively Pink Packages hosted Zumba for Breast Cancer . The greater Central New York community united at CNY Healing Arts in Syracuse, New York. This fun event was a great chance for women to come together and participate in the newest fitness class, or just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy some scrumptious desserts while supporting this great cause.
Laura Ponticello, of Laura’s List: Books for Women, shares “Thanks to our friend and support champion, Dr. Robert Kiltz, we were able to raise $500 from this venue, for local breast cancer organization, Positively Pink Packages.”
Chemotherapy was the hardest part of treatment for me. Those four months seemed like years. Even though I had seen others go through it and knew what to expect, I somehow thought it would be easier. It wasn’t so much the nausea- I had a wonderful nurse practitioner that told me if I was nauseous, she wasn’t doing her job. For me, it was the hair loss. Vickie Girard sums it up when she writes in her book, There’s No Place Like Hope, “Losing our hair hurts and no one tells us that. It hurts our head, yes, but mostly it hurts our heart.” I have taken some of the items I found helpful, and created a care package-in the hopes of making this time a little easier for you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Tom; Founder of Positively Pink Packages
With your support, we can bring light to breast cancer patients darkest days- not only does the care package let them know that they are not alone in this fight but it provides them with the highest quality products to use during this difficult time. Again, a huge thank you for your support and embracing the chance to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families by supporting this wonderful program.
Donations are still being accepted and every dollar donated, goes directly into creating breast cancer care packages for local CNY residents. Donations (and yes, a tax donation) can be sent to:

Positively Pink Packages is a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt public charity dedicated to supporting the physical, emotional and educational needs of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in Central New York by providing care packages without charge. www.positivelypinkpackages.org

It’s that time of the month, everything in Bijou has (or will be soon) turned pink! Last year at this time, we raised over $1000 for the national breast cancer foundation. Bijou made the commitment to donate 10% of our service sales to help find a cure for breast cancer. I believe every little bit helps! So keep in mind, every dollar you spend at Bijou for the month of October, 10% will go to finding a cure! Thanks, once again for participating! I would really love any suggestions for where is the best place to send it, last year I just did the national breast cancer foundation, but am open to any great suggestions!
Be sure to keep up on our blog, we keep adding exciting news and coverage for the Pink cow bingo, any questions…just ask us, we’ll find the answers for you! PLUS we have tickets, stop in and buy one or two or five! And if you really enjoy reading the blog, subscribe to it, then it will just magically appear in your email inbox, ready for you to read…although the music is missing when you do it that way Thank you so much for always helping with any request we have. Everyone has always been so supportive and it is my great honor to use Bijou as a “vehicle” to raise money for very special causes! Remember it is not how much you give, because trust me, every little tiny bit helps and believe me when I say, when you give..it comes back ten-fold!
