 Beauty of Hope had its annual luncheon in Bemidji to promote cancer awareness and all proceeds benefit the Strength and Style program and Cancer Boutique at Sanford's Cancer Center. Now the program provides a complimentary wig to any patient who's had medical hair loss from cancer. This is the fourth year of the luncheon and lots of fun was in store for guests including a fashion show and makeup services for them to see the beauty of hope. If you lose your hair you're not yourself so anything you can do to just get back that sense of yourself and feel beautiful again and feel good again is terrific and this program makes that possible.

It was actually quite comical trying on some of those wigs but it's just a very nice service that they offer and my daughter and I ended up picking out a wig and a color that tried to match my original hair color and we ordered it and everything went well. Guests also heard from a speaker about genetic counseling where they can try to detect cancer early and treat it sooner.
