We Heart Sharlane

Sharlane Chase has been a non-stop super generous supporter of Get Hitched Give Hope – since the beginning of time. Our hearts burst with love for this lady! (and her cute little Anna-Bean)

If you haven’t already heard – we are holding an auction in her honor to raise money to help pay for the medical bills. (darn those health care costs) So – grab those pens (checkbooks too!) mark your calendar and meet us at the Herban Feast Sodo Park venue on February 4th and buy some art!! There will actually be a TON of things for sale, art, jewelry, services, products, lunch, dinner, drinks – EVERYTHING.

Visit the website for more info – but here is the information to post and re-post, email, print and SHARE with everyone you know! =)

Thank you for your love and support of our good buddy!

WE HEART SHARLANE

What: A Fundraising Auction
Where: Herban Feast @ Sodo Park | 3200 1st Avenue South, Seattle, WA. 98134
When: Thursday Feb 4th 2010 | 7-10pm
Who: EVERYONE! Please forward this email on to family, friends, brides to be or anyone that you think would be interested in supporting this amazing cause!

Sharlane is a Mother, a photographer, and our friend. This year began like a fairy tale; complete with a magical proposal from the man she loves. Like too many fairy tales, this one turned dark as Sharlane was diagnosed with Cancer even before the wedding planning could begin. The diagnosis itself is scary enough, but so are the crushing costs associated. This is our attempt to help our friend, who has helped so many others herself.

The benefit we are throwing is all about love, life, laughter and Art. We are so excited about the donated items, and know that even if you don’t know Sharlane you can find something amazing to spend your money on for a Valentine’s Day gift. In addition to buying something über cool and impressing your friends, you will also receive that warm fuzzy feeling from helping an amazing person.

You can help Sharlene in four (4) easy ways:
·       Donate money (it’s PayPal — too easy!): http://weheartsharlane.showitsite.com/#/help/
·       Donate an item (great way to gain exposure and showcase your work for an amazing cause): helpsharlane@gmail.com
·       Bid on a silent auction item on Feb 4th (Check out the list of amazing goods): http://weheartsharlane.showitsite.com/#/what-to-expect/
·       Spread the word! Please pass this invitation along on facebook, twitter and email!

Thanks for the support! Any questions, call Ashley 206-353-2992 or email at helpsharlane@gmail.com

Cheers,

Get Hitched Give Hope & Girl Power Hour Collide

On Thursday October 15th the Girl Power Hour was held at Duque Salon in Ballard (a new favorite of ours for sure!) – each month they feature businesses & charities and it is a fabulous way for women in all walks of life to network (in a fun way), get out of the house/office meet some new people, discover some new hidden place and best of all – to learn about a local charity.

This month was the COOLEST month – because it was the Pink event and it is the Pink month – a month of awareness for the breasts and their health they featured Get Hitched Give Hope – the SWANKIEST coolest way to plan your wedding – at a party in town!!

For those of you who don’t know – Get Hitched Give Hope is a 501c3 charity – we host an annual event where we find the top vendors in Seattle, auction off their services & products and all the money raised goes to the Making Memories Breast Cancer foundation where they grant the wishes of women in stage for breast cancer. For some the cure won’t come soon enough – so we help them celebrate life and create happy memories during hard times that will stay with the family forever.

Another Winner from Last Year

At last year’s Get Hitched, Give Hope Brandie bid on–and won!–a nail party with manis and pedis for her and her mom and bridesmaids at Julep Nail Parlor downtown. It was so much fun. And it wasn’t just a fun afternoon with the girls–it was one that felt great, because the money spent on the day all went to the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.

There was champagne and pampering and general fun…

And some awesome bright toe colors…

Just a few days later I had a blast photographing Brandie’s wedding…you can see how much fun she is…

Brandie treated me to a pedi–how sweet! That’s me with the orange toes…

What a great way to have fun…all while giving back. Thanks to Julep for the incredibly generous donation and thanks to Brandie, for helping us raise $30,000 last year!
