Colossal Announces Over $9 Million Raised From Fab Over 40 Competition Benefiting National Breast Cancer Foundation
Gina De Simone took the Fab Over 40 title, $40,000, a feature in NewBeauty Magazine, and a spa-cation in Scottsdale.
PHOENIX, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Colossal is excited to announce that over $9 MILLION has been raised from the 2023 Fab Over 40 Competition. The online fundraising campaign curated a community of thousands of fabulous women over age 40 centered around celebrating wisdom, self-love, and philanthropy, all while competing for a fantastic grand prize of $40,000, a luxury spa-cation, and a two-page feature in NewBeauty Magazine.
National Breast Cancer Foundation
The Fab Over 40 Competition operated as a fundraising campaign on behalf of DTCare, a nationally registered 501(c)(3) charity/charitable grantmaker. The funds raised during the Fab Over 40 Competition went directly to DTCare, which subsequently issued a grant to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) totaling $9,001,595.74. This donation will assist with the organization's mission of Helping Women Now® by providing early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
The team at NBCF expressed their gratitude to Colossal: "You all continue to amaze us. THANK YOU for raising this transformational, life-changing gift of over $9 million! With your continued support, you are bringing joy, hope, and help to hundreds of thousands of women and their families. We can't think of anything better. You all are angels."
Colossal is one of the greatest benefactors of the National Breast Cancer Foundation, raising $17,221,770.10 for grants to the organization in two years.
