Wrapsody of Hoover, a unique gift store located in the Patton Creek Shopping center, will be hosting its 2nd Annual “Hope Floats” Campaign during the month of October with a finale balloon release celebration on Oct. 28. All proceeds from the campaign will be given locally to the North Alabama chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation which will in turn provide free mammograms, education and donations to research.
Wrapsody of Hoover will be receiving $2 donations to honor or in memoriam of someone affected by breast cancer from customers. Each customer/donator will receive a tag for their donation. Sentiments, messages of hope or simply the honoree’s name can be written on the tag that will hang in the store window throughout the campaign. To kick off the event, the store will also host a sign-up for the Birmingham’s Race for the Cure on October 1st, the same day the campaign begins.
Wrapsody will also be selling products made specifically for the “Hope Floats” Campaign that will be available during October including a “Dang Aware” T-shirt by Dang Chicks and a signature Wrapsody candle “Endure” poured exclusively by Birmingham Candle Company. All profits from the sale of these items will also be added to the contributions donated to the foundation.
The balloon release will be at 4:30 pm. Balloons with the personal tags will be released by employees, customers and local survivors in celebration of hope. Wrapsody will offer a $20 off a $40 purchase “pink pass” available on the Wrapsody Facebook fan page and email notice. Attendees at the release may use their “pink pass” discount from 4:00-5:00 p.m. A gift-basket will also be given away following the 4:30 p.m. Balloon Release. Participants may register beginning at 4:00. The winner of the gift basket, kindly contributed by local Patton Creek merchants, will be announced after the release (must be present to win).
