Baci Lingerie Donates to Charlotteâs Dreams |
LOS ANGELES—Baci Lingerie has announced its support for Charlotte’s Dreams, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing bras and proper breast prosthetic forms to cancer survivors. The donation of nearly 500 bras will assist the nonprofit in its mission to help women reclaim their dignity and confidence during the challenging period of recovery and financial hardship. Baci Lingerie owner Frank Koretsky explained, “Charlotte's Dreams is a dynamic organization helping women move on to the next stage of their lives after cancer: living. Baci is committed to empowering women all around the world, and supporting groups like Charlotte’s Dreams is so important to our ongoing philanthropic mission. It is our sincere hope that our involvement creates awareness and inspires others to support causes that positively impact the lives of women of all walks.” Founded by Charlotte Dowell, Charlotte’s Dreams was born from her belief that every woman has a right to dignity and confidence, especially after battling cancer. A certified prosthesis fitter for 24 years, Charlotte had fitted hundreds of women with prosthetic forms and bras, but found that many cancer survivors would often go without, and thus resort to using other materials like socks and stockings filled with rice and beans due to financial hardship. Charlotte’s Dreams CEO and founder Charlotte Dowdell said, “In my 24 years as a certified prosthesis fitter, I’ve seen too many beautiful, strong, deserving women unable to pay for the breast forms and bras they needed to transition into life after cancer with dignity and grace, and it has been our mission to remedy that. Donations and support from organizations like Baci Lingerie allows us to remain a non-profit and true to the cause; we have no doubt that their sexy, sultry styles will be a perfect fit for many of our precious clients.” Charlotte’s Dreams welcomes all women and aims to provide the personalized attention they need for a proper fit. A certified prosthesis consultant meets with each client and then offers options for breast forms and bras for a specialized experience. For more information, visit CharlottesDreams.org. Baci Lingerie Is committed to philanthropy, social consciousness, and charitable outreach, citing women’s cancers as a cause close to their hearts; to date, Baci has raised thousands of dollars for the Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund at Fox Chase for breast cancer research, as well as the EIFF Revlon Run/Walk in LA.
