We are excited to be bringing Bras for Lindsay’s Cause to our event. Proceeds from all bras sold in the auction at Diamonds & Divas will benefit the Inflammatory Breast Cancer  Research Foundation in honor of Lindsay Thul.  Lindsay was a Quad Cities native that lost her fight against IBC at the age of 29.  Her friends and family continue to fight for early detection and treatment research. The remaining funds raised at this event will provide support and education to those in our community that are impacted by cancer through the support of Gilda’s Club and NormaLeah. Gilda’s Club Quad Cities ensures that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.  Our programs serve the whole family, not just the person living with cancer.  All programs at Gilda’s Club are offered free of cost and are research and evidence based.  Services include social and emotional  support, education, healthy lifestyle activities and children/teen support. The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative is enriching lives through early detection education, patient support services and research funding for ovarian cancer. We are  empowering women and those who love them to recognize the subtle symptoms, assess their personal risk and seek medical attention for the best outcome.  NormahLeah Ovarian Cancer Initiative is taking the silence out of ovarian cancer.
