If you’re not one to wear cutsey hearts on your clothes but you like to at least acknowledge Valentine’s Day, check out this T-shirt from Chewylou Designs. It has HEART on the front and Hope, Empathy, Appreciation, Resilence, Trust on back.

The shirt is the perfect nod to Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month. Alyssa Dinowitz, founder of Chewylou Designs and Athletes Yoga, started making T-shirts when she created the LIVE shirt for Breast Cancer Awareness – in honor of her mother who is fighting the disease for the third time. 

 A portion of the proceeds from her T-shirt sales support breast cancer research via the GreaterGood Network.  Her women’s T-shirt line inspires women with its catchy acronyms and motivational words.  See for yourself here. 

Guests will get to meet a KN Karen Neuburger team member, sample the pink treats, fund a mammogram for a woman in their community just by showing up, and take home a “bagstuffer” filled with cancer society’s self-exam directions. What’s more, anyone who spends $50 or more will receive a free gift with purchase.

The event, at Oklahoma City area Dillard’s, is free and open to the public Oct. 24-Oct. 25.

Trisha Yearwood … helping fight breast cancer.

Coldwater Creek and country music singer Trisha Yeawood are beginning a journey they hope will end with a cure for breast cancer.

Yearwood and Coldwater Creek women’s apparel retailer have launched the fundraising program, “Share your journey … for the Cure” for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Yearwood is author of “Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen,” a passionate breast health advocate and wife of Oklahoma-born Garth Brooks. They live in Owasso.

“I’ve walked 60 miles in the Breast Cancer 3-Day event to help find a cure, but the real journey has just begun” said Yearwood of her support of “Share your Journey … for the Cure” fundraiser.

To help, pick up a donation card at any Coldwater Creek store (there’s one in Penn Square in Oklahoma City) or log onto www.coldwatercreek.com/journey. After making a donation online, everyone will receive a referrer ID and email to pass on to friends, family, and coworkers, breast cancer survivors and co-survivors, inspiring additional donations along the way. 

 Passing it on to others is the key to success. If eight people pass it on to eight people and they pass it on to eight people, what a powerful way to share the message and make a real difference.

No purchase is necessary to activate the card and the minimum donation amount is just $1.
