The Dynamic Divas have taken in several local organizations to help out. One group that we help is the Breast Cancer Detection Center (BCDC).
BCDC provides mammograms, breast cancer support to all ages of men and women no matter their financial situation. They provide free mammograms all over Alaska.
Every year BCDC puts on a huge Galla to help raise money for new equipment and to continue providing services locally and throughout Alaska.
Tickets for the event are $100 and there are only 400 tickets. Tickets sell out super fast! The dynamic Divas was sponsoring a table and I really wanted to go. Andrew wasn't too sure if he wanted to go or not. Dressing up isn't really his thing. Allot of the other Divas we're going alone so I figured I'd be ok. With Andrew's work schedule I didn't count on him being able to make it anyway.
The Galla was Friday night and Andrew flew in just in time from Kodiak. He was more than happy to stay home with the kids.
The galla was seriously amazing!! I felt like I was going to a ball. It was actually lots of fun to set my hair and make up done and wear a pretty dress. Something that isn't really like me.
The room was decorated on ALL pink. Lining the walls were items to bid on for the silent auction. There was also paintings and other big items that were auctioned off in a silent auction.
The night was so much fun. They honored breast cancer survivors and said a prayers for the ones who were no long with us. They had a funny opra like skit all about the invention of the bra. They recognized companies and individuals for their LARGE donations. My favorite part was the live auction! I couldn't believe how much some items went for. The culinary arts devision at UAf made some amazing cakes that were auctioned off. Some for almost $1,000!!!
We had a wonderful night and Tons of money was raised for BCDC!!!
