Now more than ever, breast cancer seems to have touched so many lives… including that of Gift Gourmet founder Karen Parry. As a survivor, Karen has made a personal commitment to increase awareness by encouraging all women - even young women - to perform self-examinations on a monthly basis, and follow their physician's advice about yearly mammograms.  To help promote breast cancer awareness, Karen is honored to offer Friendship for the Cure™ Friendship Balls through Gift Gourmet.  Friendship Balls are a modern expression of the old English tradition of passing a delicate ornamental ball between friends and tucking a thoughtful token of sentiment inside. Our Friendship Balls continue that tradition by including a gift, and a gentle reminder for breast cancer awareness. For each Friendship Ball sold, Karen Parry will donate $1.00 to the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks, a non-profit organization which provides education, assistance and resources for those in the southwest Missouri area affected by breast cancer.
