I am Beautiful Women’s

Foundation is a nonprofit or-

ganization that was legally

formed in the State of Geor-

gia. Our organization’s goal

is to raise funds which will be

use to offset the cost of treat-

ments for women and young

girls who are suffering severe

hair loss as a result of any

medical condition such as

cancer, lupus, diabetes, etc…,

to include genetic alopecia,

fire or chemical burns and for

the purchase of cranial hair

prostheses and Low Lever

Laser Therapy to re-grow

natural hair. We will also be

working to educate the public

about hair loss, hair loss pre-

vention and the effects it has

on the individual and love

ones. Through our programs

we hope to help as many in-

dividuals as possible with the

resources we have available.

We will be raising money by

collecting donations as well

as by holding a variety of dif-

ferent fundraising events.

The funds we raise will be

used to cover expense of

scalp and hair treatments,

which are often viewed as

cosmetic and as a result not

covered by insurance compa-

nies. We will also assist with

day to day expenses that our

clients find hard to maintain

due to the high cost of medi-

cal bills.., expenses such as

utilities bills, child care, edu-

cation, food and clothing for

the kids, and emotional coun-

seling to name a few.

Our cause at I Am Beautiful

Women's Foundation "Parade

of Ribbons", is to unify our

efforts with the efforts of oth-

ers to bring awareness of the

many diseases that women

and young girls suffer with

and provide a support system

which do not discriminate

based on the type of disease

the individual is suffering

with.

Our immediate goal is to as-

sist women and young girls

who suffer severe hair loss as

a result of these many dis-

eases. Most insurance

companies consider this

assistance as a cosmetic pro-

cedure and refuse to offer

coverage. As we all under-

stand hair recovery connected

to any medical condition is

far from a cosmetic procedure

for women.

We have now extended our

goals to include all other as-

sistance needed for women

and young girls who suffer

severe hair loss. We have a

network of services which in-

clude things like, counseling,

medical advice, motivational

workshop, family assistance,

and more...

Our "Parade of Ribbons"

events are designed to bring

together supporters of all dis-

eases and make them aware

of the commonality of their

causes, unify their efforts and

bring notice to the commu-

nity and local businesses that

support for certain diseases

shouldn't began and end on

the first and last day of a des-

ignated month for that par-

ticular disease.

We invite you to join in our

efforts by hosting or becom-

ing a sponsor for "Parade of

Ribbons". We will assist you

in hosting your own "Parade

of Ribbons" walk/run, fash-

ion show or benefit. Use you

imagination to make your

event one of the most uplift-

ing and remember able

events in your community.

Pretty-n-Pink, Breast Cancer Survivor Fashion Show

In late September, 2014 I Am Beautiful Women’s Foundation started

partnering with different Dillard’s stores around the eastern part of the

country to honor breast cancer survivors.

This occasion celebrates the strength, beauty, and spirit of breast cancer

survivors and the courage and compassion of their families, friends and

support network.

The purpose of these “Pretty-n-Pink” fashion shows is to spread hope

and inspire others to fight their personal battle with cancer and severe

hair loss associated with cancer and many other diseases.

All the models chosen for these Pretty-n-Pink fashion shows are breast

cancer survivors.

Why We Chose Dillard’s

Dillard’s is a major contributor to the fight for a cure. Dillard's Fit for a

Cure event is a perfect fit for our Pretty-n-Pink fashion show. Dillard's

will donate $2 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for every woman who

is fitted for a bra. An additional $2 will be donated for every bra pur-

chased. The foundation advocates for breast cancer awareness and re-

search.

At these events information on how to do proper self-examination will

be distributed and discuss. These events are held twice a year at Dillard's

more than 300 stores.

Our 2014 Pretty-n-Pink fashion shows were held at three Dillard’s

stores four times from late September to November 1st, 2014. The par-

ticipating stores were Dillard’s Savannah Mall in Savannah GA., Dil-

lard’s Perimeter Mall in Atlanta GA., Dillard’s Asheville Mall in Ashe-

ville NC.

How should a breast self-exam be performed?

1) In the Shower

Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a

circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the

entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling

for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and

get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.

2) In Front of a Mirror

Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise

your arms high overhead.

Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the

skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and

press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not

exactly match—few women's breasts do, so look for any dimpling,

puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

3) Lying Down

When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest

wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm be-

hind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers

around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the

entire breast area and armpit.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for

discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

Can I rely on breast self-exams alone to be sure I am breast

cancer free?

Mammography can detect tumors before they can be felt, so screening

is key for early detection. But when combined with regular medical

care and appropriate guideline-recommended mammography, breast

self-exams can help women know what is normal for them so they can

report any changes to their healthcare provider.

If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but

don't panic — 8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. For additional

peace of mind, call your doctor whenever you have concerns.

What Can I Do To Reduce My Risk of Breast Cancer?

Although you cannot prevent cancer, some habits that can help reduce

your risk are:

1. Maintain a healthy weight

2. Stay physically active

3. Eat fruits and vegetables

4. Do not smoke

5. Limit alcohol consumption

At each event as these breast cancer survivors took to the stage, a short nar-ration of their life struggles and journey fighting breast cancer was read to

the attendees of these events.

Fit For A Cure

Oct is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Dillard’s is hosting free

bra fitting events at several Cleveland area Dillard's stores from Oct.

15 through 17.

The event, called Fit For The Cure, provides complimentary bra fit-

tings by Dillard’s fit specialist. For every woman who participates,

Dillard’s will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for breast cancer re-

search and community health programs.

Dillard’s will also donate an additional $2 for every bra, shapewear

item or b.tempt'd bra purchased at any of the local events.

During October, Dillard’s will also donate $2 to Susan G. Komen

for any item purchased from the Dillard’s Embrace Lace collection.

Customers will receive a free gift with the purchase of at least $80

from the Embrace Lace collection.

Dillard’s estimates that eight out of 10 women are wearing the

wrong bra size. It says that women should have an expert fitting at

least once a year as bra size fluctuates with our changing bodies. So

take 15 minutes, meet with an expert and support an important

cause.

It's also crucial to conduct monthly breast exams. Self-examination

is a great way to detect abnormalities at an early stage.

proactive health care, share information about community and government

partners and create lines of communication that provide helpful information concerning your needs.

Laura Sykes: I am a stage 4 breast cancer survivor and a new

meaning in my life was clearly define. Dillard's and I Am

Beautiful Women’s Foundation has made so much differ-

ence in my life as I modeled in the fashion shows. The store

members are amazing, supportive and had a zest in making me feel so beautiful and fitting me with beautiful clothes,

fine tuning my makeup and truly given me hope. Thank you

Kathy Hall: I had my first surgery in June. They told me that I

have stage II invasive ductile carcinoma. Everyone has told me

that I have "The right attitude" about this but it is difficult at

times. Dillard’s and I Am Beautiful Women’s Foundation has

reinforced my strength to fight through this journey. You either decide to fight or not. Those are the choices. I love my family

and friends. I have a lot to live for and refuse to give up, so for

now I fight. God has his plan for me. That I am sure of.

One of the most emotionally devastating concerns we hear about from our

members is thinning hair and hair loss. At I Am Beautiful Women’s Foun-

dation, we understand that a woman’s head of hair is her crowning glory —

and losing too much hair can be a serious and frightening blow to her self-

esteem.

Reacting so strongly to the physical state of your hair may seem like van-

ity, but it’s not. Your hair is one of the first areas, along with skin and

nails, to manifest signs of hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition, or illness.

Understanding how hair regenerates and paying attention to any changes in

your hair growth and appearance are important parts of taking care of your-

self.

“I’m A Survivor” is a breast cancer benefit we do in conjunction with our Pretty-n-Pink fashion shows.

Before each event all the breast

cancer survivors came in to

Dillard’s days before the event

to get their face chart for their

make-up, fitting for their

dresses, accessories and shoes.

The Dillard’s staff at each

store was warm hearted and

professional to all the breast

cancer survivors. Each survi-

vor expressed their apprecia-

tion for the way they was

treated by the staff at each

Dillard’s

The Asheville event was

support by cosmetology stu-

dents from Asheville High

School Cosmetology De-

partment. These young stu-

dents came in with the guid-

ance of Angela Crawford

and their Instructor Trina

Jackson and put the finish-

ing touches on these

beautiful ladies.

A special thank you goes

out to Dillard’s, all partici-

pating stores, staff and all

others who supported our

breast cancer survivors and

making them feel not for-

gotten and appreciated.

Our Asheville event signified not only our Pretty-n-Pink event but it was the

launch of the nations very first “Parade

of Ribbons” event, where we honor not

only breast cancer survivors but survi-vors of all diseases. As shown here our

first male model and kidney disease 12

year survivor Mr. Richard Townsend.
