Over the past two decades, The Bridal Association of the Brazos
Valley has donated more than $165,000 to local charities in the
Brazos Valley.
The designated charity for the 2016 spring show is Pink
Alliance – Breast Cancer Support of the Brazos Valley. Formed
by five women who experienced the overwhelming emotions
that come with the diagnosis of breast cancer, the mission of the
organization is to provide educational resources to women in
the community who receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. Pink
Alliance has collaborated with the American Cancer Society to
assemble a portfolio of pamphlets, books and other resources
with relevant, useful information about topics such as: pathology
reports, chemotherapy, surgical options, radiation therapy, sources
for items such as breast prosthesis and wigs, and questions to ask
their medical team. The organization also provides other resources
and support. For more information about Pink Alliance – Breast
Cancer Support of the Brazos Valley, including phone numbers for
