In October of 2006 Mary Kay had a promotion where the hostess of a Mary Kay party was given a pink wrap to help generate awareness of breast cancer. A portion of the company's proceeds from the promotional sales went to the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation, which funnels money to women affected by cancer or domestic violence. I decided to give them not only to my hostesses, also, to women who were recently diagnosed with cancer, or were survivors of cancer. The first pink wrap went to Bismarck Police Chief Deb Ness, a breast cancer. The Mary Kay promotion soon came to an end and I knew I wasn't ready to stop. I had watched three women in my family fight and beat cancer and I wanted to do something to help others get through it so I decided to knit pink scarves and donate each one to someone special.
Until next time......
