Our town’s Accessories designer, Elaine Turner is stepping up for Breast Cancer Awareness Month for a cause that is near and dear to her heart. Since Elaine’s own Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 48, she has made it her cause to ensure that she and all of the women she can influence will take mammograms and become their own advocates for the very important cause of prevention of this disease that affects so many women.

Throughout October, Elaine will donate 100% of the proceeds of her pink wrap bracelets shown here, which she has named the Marlaine in honor of her Mom, to the Nellie B. Connally Breast Cancer Center at MD Anderson. For just $55 retail you can support this worthy cause in style.  In addition, if you show off your bracelet in a Rosie the Riveter pose and upload the image to Elaine’s FB or Instagram with hashtag #PowerUpPink, she will donate an extra $1 to the Nellie Connally Breast Center.  The bracelet is available in Houston at her two stores….Rice Village and CityCentre, specialty stores nationwide and online at www.elaineturner.com. POWER UP PINK EVENTS at Elaine Turner Houston Stores…

Elaine continues her push to increase women’s awareness of Breast Cancer Month by hosting two events that will donate a percentage of sales for each of the evenings to two local Breast Cancer organizations:  The Pink Door and Pink Ribbon Project. Her plan is to encourage women to make purchases that will benefit one of these groups while noshing on light bites and pink cocktails.
