Dear Friends,
We are so proud to
announce that $39,000 was realized from the sale of
raffle prizes & over 300 brick art from our 2007
Auction. Advance sponsorships yielded $46,000 for a
total of $85,000 to benefit Breast Cancer Research,
Education, Advocacy and Patient Support in our Greater
Cincinnati area.
Your generous, past
tax deductible donation helped to advance our mission.
The Breast Cancer
Brick Auction is a loving tribute of hope and
determination to every woman, her family & friends, who
live or have lived with Breast Cancer. For those of us
who have lost a dear one, our active participation in
this ongoing event is comforting & healing. For those
who are supporting a loved one, the camaraderie,
exchange of information & positive spirit shared is
valuable.
Ellen Bernstein
Ganson, who co-founded ‘Bricks Along the Journey’ with
Marcia Levitas, lost her battle to Breast Cancer on
September 26, 2006. In celebration of Ellen’s life and
her determination to fight Breast Cancer, friends,
artists, and family are committing themselves to the
continuation of the Brick Auction. The Ellen B. Ganson
Memorial Foundation has been established. Donations can
be made throughout the year in memory or in honor of
events. All proceeds will benefit Breast Cancer
research, education, advocacy and patient support in the
Greater Cincinnati area.
We are busy planning
the 7th Annual Breast Cancer Brick Auction
to be held on Sunday, October 26, 2008 from 2-5 p.m. at
