Wedding Donation
“My sister was 34 when she was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, and my mother battled cancer 17 years ago. I knew I wanted to do something meaningful at my wedding in their honor.” –Danielle Salera, New York City Catering Director and bride who donated to the Foundation
We have all been touched by the emotional and physical toll that cancer can take. It is for this reason that I have designated the Prevent Cancer Foundation as my official “charity of choice.” – David Tutera, Wedding Planner & Foundation Board member, Honored by Modern Bride Magazine, Life & Style Magazine and Host of “My Fair Wedding” on WE.
The Foundation offers couples and their guests an opportunity to remember or celebrate a loved one by giving a donation in lieu of traditional wedding favors or gifts. You could also encourage your guests to make a donation in lieu of a wedding gift. As a part of the wedding favors, the Foundation can provide you with table tent cards for the reception table. We suggest a donation of $2.00-$5.00 per guest.
