Raising funds, awareness and making a difference.......

There's a season for everything. Spring is peak season for the ACS Relay For Life events and they continue through out the summer. Team Boobiehead participated in our first Pre-Relay event (April 2nd) hosting a concert with Nashville stars, Bomshel, along with opening act, 12 year old Sydney Rhame from Atlanta. Many, many thanks go out to the these talented performers and all the volunteers it takes to make a venue of this size come to fruition. Next, we had our own Glynn County RFL held April 15th. Family flew in to walk the survivor lap with me and my other survivor buddies. It was a day of celebration, for sure. This time last year, i was bald, super skinny and still going through weekly chemo treatments. I looked like cancer. This year, mid-January, my chemo port came out, hair has grown back crazy curly and now it's time to march for those who can't. I never, in a million years, would've thought I'd get cancer but it happened. No history, no DNA, young at 42 and in picture perfect health.....what are the odds? No one knows why we get the fight of our lives but we do. Just because i'm done with treatment, doesn't mean i'm done. I'm here to help those who can't. The seasons may change but the mission doesn't.

Help Team Boobiehead continue to raise funds, awareness and make a difference everyday.

Buy a tshirt, have a laugh at being a Boobiehead and help.......It's why we're here in on this planet. Again, thank you to everyone for helping out the last three weeks. We couldn't have done it without you!

Product Focus: Boobie Head Scarfs & Knit Tassel Hats

Well, it's that time of year and chill is in the air! The most fun way to stay warm and cozy this fall and winter is with our unisex scarfs and hats.

The scarves are soft-as-a-baby's-behind fleece and oversized for comfort and warmth. They come in year-round favorite BoobieHead pink, a relaxed warm grey, and the always fashionable black. Of course, they have an embroidered BH logo (complete with nips on the B's!)

Be cool and stay warm, always with a good humor.

These are great Christmas gifts for all ages.

The best thing is, you are helping a cancer patient with every purchase.

What an inspiration!

Last week, I overheard a wonderful conversation. A local lady was gushing about what a hero my boss, Britt Figueroa, has become in our St Simons Island/Brunswick, Georgia community.

Most mortal humans, rightfully so, cannot handle the pressures of having cancer, telling loved ones, going through treatments, and perhaps even having one of your precious breasts chopped off your body.

Britt not only handled it for herself and her children, but she also listened to the pleas of all the other cancer patients she kept meeting. These people with cancer were talking about the ever-expanding bills for cancer treatments and that many would have to file bankruptcy in order to save their homes. Or they would choose to have the cancer removed, but have absolutely no followup care.

Britt knew that, in order to regain health, the last thing these people should be worrying about is money, yet all too frequently, this is the harsh reality. They were too young to get benefits from Medicare and had too many assets to qualify for other aid agencies.

So, in the midst of her own cancer nightmare (and while caring for her two lovely children), she conceived, created, and coalesced her new company, BoobieHeadInc. and started Your Cancer Care foundation. The sole purpose of the fund is to assist cancer patients to pay their bills and prevent bankruptcies. She works with our local hospital Southeast Georgia Health System and others to pay for Glynn County Georgia patient bills. Later, her plan is to expand way beyond Glynn County to assist other Americans.

I knew her story and admire her courage: that's why I work with her. But, somehow, listening to that woman enthusiastically fawning over Britt, what she has overcome and created to help others in a very few months, I am inspired anew.

Let's do this, people!

Product Focus: BoobieHead T's

BoobieHead T's come in three styles: distressed, V-neck, and a sheer ribbed tee. The soft pre-worn feel of the distressed unisex logo shirts are for everyone from small to XXL and are available in BoobieHead Blue, Coral, Olive and a cool Smoke color. Humor is added by the inside imprint, "Got Boobs?"

The V neck is cut for a woman, ultra-soft and comes in BH light pink, black and white. Our favorite is the hot Sheer Rib Tee in seven cool colors and, of course, super soft! The Sheer Rib has a subtle hip logo and inside imprint "Boobs Unite!"

Funding help on the way

“Many cancer patients in Glynn County are uninsured or underinsured and do not qualify for financial help programs due to their age or assets”, explains Britt Figueroa, the founder and CEO of BoobieHead Inc. Britt is working to change that. She has the inspiration, the experience, and the plan.

You see, Britt is a recent survivor of breast cancer. She learned first hand many of cancer patient’s needs, which inspired her to create a line of ultra-soft casual apparel for sensitive skin, tender from chemotherapy treatments. This was just a start, of course, because Britt had a larger purpose in mind.

“A portion of the monies created from BoobieHead Inc. will go to Your Cancer Care Foundation , which will act as a pass through to pay those financial gaps for qualified candidates who would otherwise have to file for bankruptcy”, says Figueroa. Qualifying patients would be below Medicare age and have assets above Medicaid levels, but are still unable to pay hefty healthcare bills. “We first want to take care of the needs of cancer patients in Glynn County, and then we will grow to support people in other areas.”

Figueroa has the business acumen and experience to back it up. Remember Monkey Love, the fun dessert bar and gallery at Red Fern Village in St. Simons? That was her successful previous venture, so she knows business.

She also knows cancer and has a plan to help our family, friends, and neighbors who are in need.
