'Pills for the Cure': A Very Special Trunk Show

On Saturday, Oct. 22, will host a very special trunk show featuring “Designer Drug Jewelry” by local Altadena artist, Susan Braig.

Her unique eye for design will inspire you to look at life’s most painful instances in a new way.

After receiving news of her cancer, she was quickly given a recipe of drugs to help battle this deadly disease. The cost of battling her cancer brought vision to Susan’s development of her work--as she referred to the purchase of the prescriptions as “little jewels.”

At Webster’s Community Pharmacy we support local heros such as Susan Braig. Co-owner, Meredith Miller commented, “We’re excited to host this incredible innovator at our pharmacy! Come to our special Trunk Show to meet Susan in person and hear her story first hand, as you help to support breast cancer research.”

To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, partial proceeds from Pills for the Cure will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation of L.A. County.

Susan’s work symbolizes the struggles and triumphs of her fellow cancer survivors. At a time when health care is weighing heavily on everyone, this is a way to bring a little levity and sparkle to the day and remind everyone that inspiration is created right in our own neighborhood.

In addition to Susan’s jewelry, Webster’s Community Pharmacy has a unique selection of “For The Cure” gifts and collectibles which are available for sale. Many of these items are also supported with a charitable donation to breast cancer research.
