To honor this important month of remembrance and awareness, Mama has created a couple special products
to benefit the Dragon Dream Team of Akron, Ohio. Half all soap sales
will go to the team. How did we come to choose them as our breast cancer
charity of choice, you ask?
My Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of 2007. It was the most terrifying phone call of my life.
Early
detection saved my Mom’s life, and the Dragon Dream Team, a group of
kick-ass breast cancer survivors, lifted her spirits.
I've watched them compete in Ontario and Tennessee against other Dragon Boat teams around the country and was able
to see first hand what an amazing organization it is.
The
thing that moved me about all of the women is no one was there to talk
about surviving what was probably the worst ordeal of their lifetime.
They were there to compete and support and live.
When
deciding how I wanted to contribute to this cause that is so dear to my
family, I decided that because being a small business that relies so
heavily on my community, that I wanted to give back on a community
level. Even though I live in Atlanta and they’re in Ohio, these women
are every bit a part of my community because of what they mean to my
Mom.
The Dragon Dream Team soap is peppermint and rosemary, a scent combination that my Mom
picked, and I think its uplifting qualities suit the team -- and its
mission -- perfectly. Last year, we added a breast self exam oil called Boob Loob and this year we're debuting a hot flash cooling spray called Be Cool that will also benefit the team. If you would like to support the team, click here to shop. 50% of each purchase of these 3 items goes directly to the team!
