Fundraiser at Le Petit Shoppe this Sunday










Le Petit Shoppe, a children's consignment store in Laurelhurst on NE 45th is having a fundraiser this Sunday from 12-4:30.

Katherine Meenk, the new owner, tells us she is opening during this special day and time to raise funds for the 3 day breast cancer walk coming up in September.

"I just wanted to find a fun way to raise money for the 3 day breast cancer walk that I am going to participate in, as well as bring together the community for a great cause, perhaps something close to their hearts. I have been surrounded by individuals in the past few years who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be walking with a friend that is currently fighting the disease. I am hoping to make at least a small dent to help support," Katherine tells us.

She is donating all the money for all purchases made that day to the Breast Cancer
3-Day event that she will be participating in September 11th- 13th.

Also Katherine says if you know that you will be unable to attend, but would like to support the cause please visit www.the3day.org. Just click on the tab marked "Donate," then type my name in the fields and follow the prompts. You can also call 1-800 996 -3DAY and donate over the phone.

"Come and help support breast cancer research and spread awareness!" Katherine says.
