"Here's Looking At You, Gene"
International Fan Club
is proud to present
"Breast Cancer Auction 2000"
October 1998 marked the first Breast Cancer Auction, and the beginning of our campaign in the fight against breast cancer!
We are once again proud sponsors of this prestigious event.
The 1998 Breast Cancer Auction raised more than $20,000 through
the auction of customized dolls, fashions, and accessories for
15 1/2" fashion dolls.
Proceeds of the 1998 auction were recently presented to the
American Cancer Society
by award-winning artist
Mel Odom,
designer of the 15 1/2" fashion doll "Gene Marshall"
and "The Gene Marshall Collection".
This year, "Breast Cancer Auction 2000"
is proud to be working in association with
the
National Breast Cancer Coalition!
Terri Torbeck is our liaison person for the NBCC.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition is a grassroots advocacy effort in the fight against breast cancer. In 1991, the Coalition was formed with one mission, to eradicate breast cancer through action and advocacy.
