Buy jewelry, save a life!

I love jewelry, especially the really sparkly diamond kind. But there are couple of pieces that I wear every day which aren't my most expensive pieces yet they symbolize two causes very near and dear to me.

On my left wrist, I wear two colored rubber bracelets...one is purple and is for the American Cancer Society; the other is yellow and is for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Having lost my mom to lung cancer eleven years ago, this is a cause that I support wholeheartedly and do what I can to raise money every year so that other daughters out there don't have to experience that loss. Check out my Relay for Life page...any donations would be most appreciated (and can be matched by Sun too!)

On my right wrist, I wear a simple sterling silver bracelet, the Until There's A Cure Bracelet for AIDS. While I've never personally met someone with AIDS or HIV, I have several very close gay friends and the hubby works for Ramsell, a company that is focused on the fight against HIV and AIDS.

The Flowers Heritage Foundation, the nonprofit side of my hubby's employer, has just joined forces with the “Until There’s a Cure” partnership program which will allocate 25% of their AIDS Bracelet sales to FHF. All you need to do is just write Flowers Heritage Foundation in the box on the order form entitled “For donations”.

The Flowers Heritage Foundation has established the Bridge the Gap program to help fund the medication needs of every wait-listed AIDS patient in the United States. To date, they have successfully funded 22 patients for one year. However, there are more than 520 eligible people who are still on waiting lists. This is why they need our support.

Purchasing an AIDS bracelet will now help them and of course, show your support for those afflicted with this terrible disease.
