Carpinteria-based Westerlay Orchids announced Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, that it will donate $28,000 to the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara as part of their nationwide pink diamond orchid promotion that took place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
A portion of all of the sales from Westerlay's new gemstone orchid, the pink diamond, that were sold during the month of October will help the local community resource center and its patients.
“We are tremendously grateful to have received such a significant donation,” said Silvana Kelly, executive director of the Breast Cancer Resource Center. “We are forever grateful to be able to provide needed services to women in our community because of Westerlay Orchid’s generous support.”
The company has previously donated to other local charities during past Octobers, and they sponsored no-cost mammograms for low income women in October 2014.
