Beyond October
October 5th, 2018
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
The Michigan Breast Cancer Coalition in partnership with the Beaumont Breast Care Center held their first fundraiser and educational event at the Village Club in Bloomfield Hills. We used angel pillows as centerpieces and offered a separate table for attendees to write a personal note to a breast cancer survivor. We received several donations to Angel pillow and we were able to get out the word about The Angel Pillow project to the Birmingham/Bloomfield community.

Mayhew began making pillows for others, and Angel Pillow Project’s mission quickly grew. Mayhew reached out to Karen Buscemi, founder of Detroit Garment Group Guild, to take the project to the next level.

“Angel Pillow Project is a great cause that helps breast cancer survivors in a very different way than most foundations, which I thought was interesting and fun,” Buscemi explains. “What better way to put a Detroit stamp on this project than to reach out to our local designers and sewers to create pillows to comfort others? Our fashion community is very generous, and I believe we’ll get a nice turnout of volunteers.” full story
