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 2017 fall 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.
