Alexandria, VA – Three small businesses joined forces and raised $5,000 for the National Breast Center Foundation last month.
Alex Kilroy, owner of The Cut Butchery, worked with Paige Bradford of Hooray Art and Renée C. Gage Photography to create a unique fundraising event, Grillin’ for the Girls. Students in Bradford’s art classes decorated the butchers’ black aprons with bright pink paint, Kilroy donated proceeds from steak purchases (wrapped in pink paper), and Renée Gage was on hand to capture the special moments with her camera.
Martha Carucci, the executive director of the National Breast Center Foundation, made sure Mary’s Wings were there for general awareness and photo opportunities. This local nonprofit raises funds to provide women with better access to breast health care, usi
