About Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Galas

The Beauty Gala is a one day event to help raise funds for The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in Ontario, British Columbia and Yukon; Beauty Gives Back in Alberta, Atlantic and Prairies and finally, Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation in Quebec.
  • In 2015 the national Galas raised over $1.7 million dollars in support of women’s health. This year, a summer gala will be introduced, resulting in three galas total, to further support women’s health throughout Canada.

L-Summer-Beauty-Gala-SE

With all this warm weather we’ve had lately, isn’t it time to celebrate? On August 12th, the fine folks at Shopper’s Drug Mart are throwing an in-story Summer Beauty Gala to celebrate spring! In stores across the country, gala guests will enjoy complementary makeovers, skincare consultations, free samples, refreshments and snacks. How great is that?

Even better – funds raised go to a good cause! What’s better than shopping for a good cause (other than your own wardrobe!). Funds raised at locations in the Prairies and Atlantic Canada will benefit Beauty Gives Back, a charitable initiative of the Canadian beauty industry, dedicated to helping women beat the Cancer Blues.

How can you attend? Just swing by your local Shopper’s Drug Mart and talk to a beauty expert to get your ticket! Tickets are only $10 – and the best part? $5 of the ticket is donated to a charitable organization. The remaining $5 is redeemable on any purchase made at Shoppers Drug Mart during the event!

About Look Good Feel Better

Look Good Feel Better is Canada’s only charitable cancer program dedicated to empowering women to manage the effects that cancer and its treatment can have on their appearance. At the heart of Look Good Feel Better is the free, 2 hour hands-on workshop offered at 120 cancer care facilities and hospitals across the country. Since its inception, it is estimated that Look Good Feel Better has helped hundreds of thousands of women across the country.

What is the Cancer Blues? It’s a term for the emotional distress caused by cancer and its treatment. The Cancer Blues is a huge and overlooked part of the cancer story. For the majority of women, a cancer diagnosis unleashes as many emotional symptoms as physical ones.

For the cost of $10 per ticket, guests were able to visit local Shoppers Drug Mart stores to enjoy things like complimentary makeovers, skincare consultations, free samples, refreshments and snacks. Tickets to the event were limited but sold well; stores experienced high traffic and lots of happy ladies.

Gala guests were greeted with a swag bag filled with fabulous goodies like fragrance, makeup and skincare product samples. Prior to leaving, we were able to use out ticket to redeem $5 off of any Shoppers Drug Mart purchase. Between ladies filled with confidence and bags filled with fun new product, the success of the event looked almost as great as the #SDMBeautyGala guests.

From each ticket sold by participating stores in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland, $5 went to Beauty Gives Back; a registered charity dedicated to making women ‘feel human again in the face of the ravages of cancer and its treatment. In doing so, we help restore their confidence, and the confidence of those around them, to continue fighting with conviction and living with dignity.‘ Visit them here to learn more.

A big thank you goes out to all of the wonderful people from Shoppers Drug Mart, Beauty Gives Back, and the other important charities supported nationwide, and to all of the wonderful supporters and fighters out there for a completing a beautiful event. Together, we can help each other up to stand and face the ugly monster that is cancer and take back what is rightfully ours: confidence.
