(Baton Rouge)- To coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bumble Lane Spa Retreat at Towne Center hosted its Second Annual Spa for the Cure extravaganza on October 23, 2008 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. Service providers and retail staff graciously donated their time for the evening and proceeds benefited Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.
The event more than doubled its attendance from last year and raised over $6,000 for the fight against cancer. Guests who attended enjoyed a variety of mini spa treatments and the opportunity to shop early for the holidays by receiving 20% off merchandise and gift certificates.
Chef Don Bergeron generously provided hors d’oeuvres, wine and decadent desserts. All attendees received a complimentary goodie bag and were registered to win fantastic door prizes.
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center has been fighting cancer for over 35 years with locations in Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Houma and soon to be in Gonzales. It has comprehensive cancer programs with Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge and St. Tammany Parish Hospital in Covington. These programs are accredited by the American College of Surgeons – the gold standard for community-based cancer care. For more information visit www.marybird.org.
