The Brides Against Breast Cancer "Nationwide Tour of Gowns" will arrive at the Bellevue Hilton on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. The event gives brides-to-be the opportunity to find the dress of their dreams at a discounted price, while helping to fulfill the wishes of those diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.

It is estimated that this year alone, more than 200,000 women and nearly 1,200 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

The money raised benefits the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation wish-granting service which helps family to spend quality time together.

More than 37 Nationwide Tour of Gowns sales are scheduled annually in major cities, including the upcoming Bellevue event. The two-day event will feature wedding dresses by various name brands and designer labels including couture gowns and antique dresses.

The Bellevue event will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. The Hilton Hotel is located at 300 112th Ave. S.E. Admission is free both days.
