Beauty for the Warriors
Blu Water Spa in DC will raise money for troop support and breast cancer research at its grand opening gala on November 13.
Kensington, MD (PRWEB) November 5, 2008
The Washington Metropolitan Suburban Area's newest beauty spa, Blu Water Day Spa, will celebrate its grand opening on November 13 with a special event supporting Soldiers' Angels and the Judith A. Lese Breast Cancer Foundation. Opening in Kensington at the former location of Peter's Nails, Blu Water will offer a Hearts at Home Charity Event with a cocktail party, silent action and raffle dedicated to honoring and assisting two organizations who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others.
The Judith A. Lese Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a grass-roots 501(c)(3), non-endowed, not-for-profit organization that was founded in 2003 in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Its mission is to promote awareness of this disease with accurate information and to work to eradicate breast cancer by sponsoring fund raising events that support the Foundation's work in supplying education, treatment and the search for a cure. All Foundation participants are volunteers, and all contributions are fully tax-deductible.
Soldiers' Angels is also a grassroots, 501(c)(3), non-endowed charity that was founded in 2003. As a volunteer-led non-profit, they have over 20 different teams and programs that support all branches of the U. S. Armed Forces. Soldiers' Angels sends letters, care packages, and comfort items to the deployed, and supports their families here at home. Soldiers' Angels also provides assistance to the wounded, continuing support for veterans, remembrances and comfort for families of the fallen, and immediate response to unique difficulties.
These two charities have very different visions, but Blu Water President Julie Nguyen finds a parallel in their respective efforts to meet community needs. "Soldiers' Angels and the Lese Foundation are both are committed to all whose lives have been challenged and threatened by battle - whether with the wounds and life battle from breast cancer, or wounds and permanent injuries afflicted by combat while serving in the military. Please be a part of our fighting force to make a difference in the lives of others."
Nguyen also sees support of community organizations such as Soldiers' Angels and the Lese Foundation as a privilege and an important part of Blu Water Day Spa's vision and style. "Being part of our community and helping to raise monies for those in our community and those from our communities far and near is an ultimate act of caring. Please join us in showing our caring, our act of giving to our community, to the field of breast cancer research, and to the military personnel who protect us."
