Fund raising is an important piece of the Arizona Institute for Breast Health.
Because our mission is to provide women who have been diagnosed with breast
cancer a timely second opinion completely
free of charge, all monies raised
by the Institute are through donations and fund raising events.
The goal of the Board Members of the Arizona Institute for Breast Health is
to raise community awareness in order to reach as many women who have been
diagnosed with breast cancer by spreading our message and opening our doors to them.
We are so grateful to our many supporters who are organizing the following events
coming up in 2007. We would love to have you participate in any way, big or small,
to support these wonderful organizations!
The Pink Light District
The second annual
Pink Light District fundraiser is around the corner! AIBH is pleased to announce the return of this unique event providing a
way to honor all those touched by breast cancer!
From August 1st through October 31st, you will have the opportunity to express your love,
appreciation and gratitude by purchasing pink light bulbs,
which will be placed on the Canal Bridge, which links the Scottsdale Waterfront to the
Southbridge District in downtown Scottsdale.
These Pink Honor Lights will be
illuminated on October 3rd at the Lighting Ceremony,
The Pink Light District, and will glow throughout October during Breast
Cancer Awareness Month in recognition of all those touched by this disease.

A Shopping Day at EILEEN FISHER
It is that time once again to raise money for breast cancer by spending a day shopping at EILEEN FISHER! On Saturday, September 27, 2008, EILEEN FISHER will
open their doors for a special day of shopping at the Kierland Commons location.
10% of proceeds of all items sold that day will be donated to the
Arizona Institute for Breast Health. This shopping day will not only offer wonderfully unique designs and
special sale items, but champagne and refreshments will be served.
For over twenty years, EILEEN FISHER has created clothes that invite women to dress simply
and with delight. As a socially conscious company, EILEEN FISHER is dedicated to supporting
women through social initiatives that address their well-being, to guiding their
product and process toward sustaining the environment and to practicing business
responsibly with absolute regard for human rights.
AIBH has been selected by the Kierland store team as part of EILEEN FISHER's
philanthropic commitment to support women. We all are very appreciative of
EILEEN FISHER and the entire staff for their
efforts, hard work and support for the breast cancer cause.
Ongoing Fund Raising Efforts
Over the course of a year, many fund raising events are held that reach out
to the community in hopes of reaching those in need. We are very fortunate to
have the following organizations open their hearts to AIBH by offering a way to
donate all year long! Please take a moment and read about how you can support the cause
through these wonderful organizations.
Art For Charity
Check it Out! Bettie (Jay) Pickrell is the featured artist on
Art For Charity.
Bette is donating 80% of the proceeds from the sale of her art to AIBH. She has
lived in Arizona for most of her 81 years and wants to give back to the state
that she loves. She is a 30-year Breast Cancer Survivor and selected AIBH because
of the wonderful service they provide to women who are facing the dreaded disease.

an on-line jewelry and pink ribbon gifts retailer, donates 15% of the total of every
sale through their website to the Arizona Institute
for Breast Health in the name of the purchaser, who gets the donation credit. They offer
a line of unique hand-designed Pink Ribbon Awareness pins, unique Pink Ribbon Gifts and a
line of awareness apparel. They also sell sterling silver earrings, bracelets and
pendants of all types for both women and children, and even have a variety of Asian silk ties for men!

communities. If you would like to make a donation to the Arizona Institute for Breast
