THANK YOU so much for all of the help and donations to the 09.09.09 B9- Birthday Bash Benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation!
In this current state of recession, it truly warms my heart that you have selflessly given to this wonderful cause. I am glad to report that this event was fun for all those who attended, but most importantly, that it raised over $2,300 (and a few donations are still expected)! I believe it was also a special tribute to the two honored survivors and showed the attendees why donating to breast cancer research is so important.
This event was about supporting the fight to find a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime as well as Jane and Peggy’s story, their struggle, but ultimately their survival. Hopefully it helped people realize that the money they gave to research is crucial so that maybe one day we can realize a reality where women won’t have to experience the struggles that Jane and Peggy went through. From the bottom of my heart, thank you again for your participation!

What does B9 mean?
The event title is derived from a play on the letter B, the date, and the definition of benign:
* Letter B- Berger’s Birthday Bash Benefitting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
* #9- the event date is 09.09.09
* Definition of benign- adjective
1: of a gentle disposition : gracious
2 a: showing kindness and gentleness b: favorable, wholesome
3: of a mild type or character that does not threaten health or life; especially: not becoming
cancerous
Clever, huh?
