Amy Grant, Philosophy Partner To Raise Money for Women’s Cancer Research

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and all of us know someone who has personally been affected by breast cancer. I found a small lump in my breast in the fall of 2006 and last year had a series of tests, ending with a lumpectomy last fall, to find out, thank God, that I was cancer free. Then my mother-in-law went in for her routine mammogram, was diagnosed with breast cancer, and underwent radiation.

Award-winning singer and Nashville native (like me) Amy Grant, Philosophy, and Art of Grace, a company for greater purpose and not profit have partnered to raise funds and awareness for the Entertinament Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, an organization dedicated to developing an early detection biomarker test so that women’s cancers can be detected years before current tests allow.

Inspired by the artwork of her daughter, Philosophy founder Cristina Carlino and friend Stuart Mathis co-wrote an uplifting song, She Colors My Day, that celebrates the relationship between a mother and her daughter. Multi-platinum artist Amy Grant has recorded it and it is available for download for just 99 cents on a special website. While you’re there, upload and share your favorite photographs of your moms, daughters, sisters, and friends and Philosophy will donate $1 to support women’s cancer research (up to $10,000) for each slideshow created. Philosophy has also released a special bubble bath in a beautiful container that retails for $20 and an Art of Grace keepsake gift and sketch book (also $20) to build hope and awareness for all women’s cancers.

Philosophy, Art of Grace, and Amy Grant will donate 100% of their net proceeds from the sales of these products and the song to the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s women’s cancer research fund.
