Some popular brands of cosmetics and personal care products contain chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects. Worse, most chemicals have never been evaluated for health and safety. By making smart choices, you can affect change. Use the Skin Deep database of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.cosmeticdatabase.com to find safer personal care products. Then, join the Campaign www.safecosmetics.org and help clean up the cosmetics industry.

We had a private pre-screening of the LUNAFEST films last night and the films are AMAZING! I'm no film buff, although I dated one for awhile so I know how they are, but I give all of the films two massive thumbs up.
A real film festival here in Flagstaff. We are so lucky!
And to be able to raise money for two amazing organizations as we watch stellar films, have tasty beverages, bid on amazing prizes, meet new & old friends and just come to celebrate women!!!! What could be better?!
Girls on the Run is the amazing, local beneficiary of LUNAFEST Flagstaff 2009- Here is a little more information about them to help you understand why they were chosen & what they will do with all the money we raise at this fabulous event!
The official mission of Girls on the Run of Coconino County is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.
How do they do this? Through experiential after-school programs in (3rd-8th grade) that teach and allow girls to develop self-respect and value healthy- living. All of the self-esteem enhancing, uplifting and fun! lessons are combined with training for a 5k run at the end of their session and a service project that gives the girls the tools to make positive choices for themselves & their communities. After explaining this group to my 60+ year old mom she said "they need to have this for older women too!"
Money raised at LUNAFEST will go toward providing scholarships for girls that wouldn't be able to afford the program. EVERY girl deserves this program and your donation will prevent money from being a limiting factor.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. She was amazingly lucky that 'all' she lost was one breast. She had already given birth to and nursed two children. She is still a survivor 25 years later. My grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer late in her life. Despite an amazingly valiant fight she died of the disease in about a year. My uncle survived colon cancer a good friend of mine has survived breast cancer in her 20's- 'all' she lost was both her breasts. My mother-in-law is surviving the deadliest form of brain cancer- she is an amazing inspiration to all of us.
I'm sure you have similar stories. We can talk about how cancer effects us all day- but what are we actually doing about it?
* Science increasingly points to toxic chemicals and radiation as factors in the sharp rise of breast cancer incidence.
DO SOMETHING about this epidemic. Support the Breast Cancer Fund. LUNAFEST is an amazingly easy and incredibly fun way to show your support. 20% of ALL proceeds go to the advocacy, education and outreach of the Breast Cancer Fund.
