Presented by the Making Memories Foundation, this national outreach program is designed to (with the help of generous donations of actual gowns as well as monetary gifts) provide a day where wishes are granted in getting to shop for dream dresses at unbelievable prices and a weekend spent celebrating with family and friends. This helps, if even for a moment, set aside the thoughts of cancer giving ladies good memories to cherish. There are more than 32 yearly shows, and this year's Chicago event is being held this weekend Friday April 2nd and Saturday April 3rd.
The Mission Statement of Making Memories:
"To provide an opportunity for metastatic breast cancer patients' dream or wish to be fulfilled by providing a special time of 'Making Memories' together with their families, a chance that might not have become a reality without the assistance of the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation."
"To advance the awareness of breast cancer and to educate the public about the vast resources and support available to breast cancer patients and their families."

"We participants in the front lines of the "Cancer Wars" are just ordinary men and women drafted without our consent into this service. We need not be victims. We can turn this experience to the ultimate good in service to others. The choice is ours." Gerald W. White
