What do BOTOX®, Bags, and Bling have in common?
Raising funds for the Breast Cancer 3-Day, that’s what!


    (Fort Worth, TX) – Fort Worth plastic and cosmetic surgeon Richard T. Ethridge, M.D., P.A. is joining forces with Fort Worth boutique A. Hooper & Co. and Dallas-based accessory designer Bobby Schandra to host BOTOX®, Bags, and Bling for Breast Cancer on Thursday, September 16, 2010 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at A. Hooper, 4601 West Freeway, Fort Worth, in Chapel Hill Shopping Center.

    A percentage of the proceeds will support the Breast Cancer 3-Day, a 60-mile walk scheduled for November 5 through 7, 2010 in Dallas/Fort Worth to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.

    Dr. Ethridge will provide BOTOX injection treatments for only $10 per unit (a reduced rate), with scheduled appointments during the evening. Typical treatments utilize 10 to 40 units per treatment area.

    Making his Fort Worth debut and showcasing his latest fall line of handbags and jewelry at this exclusive fundraising event, Bobby Schandra will present a selection of accessories. His designs are featured on the popular TV series Entourage and adorn celebrities from television and the runway.


    Boutique items purchased at A. Hooper & Co. will, in part, benefit the American Cancer Society.

    The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required by calling Ethridge Plastic Surgery at 817.921.5566. BOTOX appointments for this Thursday evening must also be scheduled in advance when replying for the event.

    Light hors d'oeuvres and wine will be provided, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the evening.

    The Thursday event is part of Legacy Salon hairstylist Christine Larsen-Cadena’s fundraising campaign for the 2010 Dallas/Fort Worth Breast Cancer 3-Day. Last year Dr. Ethridge offered BOTOX injections at her “BOTOX for Beauty” event and helped raise over $4,000 for the cause.
