Sowing the seeds of love
12.07.2024 Local News, Charity & SupportAt the annual Brocante market in Saanen, the local charity branch of the Soroptimists has a stand, where donated fashion accessories will be sold. The proceeds will go towards their project: the Heart Cushion. Last year, the Soroptimists donated more than CHF 4,500 to the cause and delivered more than 150 cushions.
The Heart Cushion Project supports women with breast cancer. The club organises monthly sowing afternoons, and everyone can participate in sowing the heart-shaped pillows. (No prior sowing skills needed!) These pillows are delivered free of charge to various hospitals in Switzerland and given away to women after breast cancer surgery.
HOW TO DONATE!
In light of the upcoming market, our dedicated Soroptimist president is leading the charge, asking for your support towards this honourable project. Any bag, belt, scarf or jewellery in good condition can be donated; you can deliver to Anita Huwiler at the Müller Medien office in Kirchgasse 6 in Gstaad, or directly get in contact with her on email: praesidentin@soroptimist-gstaad-saanenland.ch
Get your purses out and be ready for the Brocante & Markt Saanen on 3 August 2024.
