Trinity Salon & Spa Give Back to Breast Cancer Survivors and Participate in Treasured Chest Program

Feb. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Trinity Salon & Spa in Burnaby are all about giving back, and March 12, 2012 the spa will open its doors to breast cancer survivors for an amazing and unique experience.  Trinity is participating in Keep A Breast Canada’s Treasured Chest program; which offers free breast casting, spa services, and friendship to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer. These remarkable women may be facing a dramatic change to their female form resulting in the loss of a breast (mastectomy), partial removal of a breast (lumpectomy) or shrinkage of a breast caused by radiation; and the Treasured Chest Program allows women facing breast cancer the opportunity to preserve their casted torso as a beautiful piece of art.

The Keep A Breast Foundation Breast Casts™ are part of KAB’s unique education and support programs that harness the power of art and artistic expression to communicate complex feelings and thoughts about health, the female form and ultimately about breast cancer.

This non-invasive breast casting program is done by placing strips of gauze that have been impregnated with plaster and dipped in warm water directly on the body. Combining sculpture, philanthropy, and symbolic artistry, the one-of-a-kind plaster forms of the female torso are returned to the castee to be decorated.

Registration is currently open and women who are interested in participating can visit our link: http://trinitytreasuredchest.eventbrite.ca.  Registration is open until March 8th and space is limited.

Keep A Breast Canada is so excited to be working with Trinity Salon & Spa on what promises to be a most heart warming afternoon.
