My Thank You Note To All Of You

It’s National Thank You Note Day, and I know who should get the biggest Thank You of all, and that is you all! This year there is so much to be thankful for, and all of it is because of you.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME TO SUPPORT US AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK!

Together, we raised over $50,000. This fundraising effort funded a young scientist research grant from METAvivor in the honor of Champagne Joy, the late founder of #Cancerland. The models in the show represent all of us that face a cancer diagnosis, from previvors, to early stage, to late stage patients. Together, we showed the world that WE ARE ONE. In 2019, we will do this ground-breaking show once again, shining the light on Metastatic Disease. All models in the show are battling Stage IV breast cancer, and will have their moment in the spot light to show the world that we can be strong, resilient and hopeful, but we MUST raise dollars for research to extend our lives and improve therapies beyond what we have today.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE LAUNCH OF OUR BRAND NEW SWIMWEAR COLLECTION!

I spent years designing and creating each and every piece in the line, and for years, continued to hear, “When will you have swimwear!” and we did it! What a successful launch and seeing so many selfies and summer photos posted on social media gave me such joy this summer! And there is still some left, so get it before its gone!

Thank you, SOMA, for believing in us!

Soma introduced Anaono into their line

We are grateful to Soma for believing in us, our mission, and our goal to make sure all women undergoing breast surgery feels beautiful and comfortable, and most of all empowered! Not only did you believe in us, but in the entire community by pulling our solutions out of the back room and putting us front and center, and joining us in the conversation that just because we have cancer we are no less the women we want to be. We said goodbye to sport bras together, and now have styles that fit and are sexy! 

Thank you, Natrelle, for sharing our stories with all our incredible surgeons at the Amercian Society of Plastic Surgery meeting.

Showing our doctors who help us so much during our treatment, how much we care, how much we appreciate, and how important their work is, was bigger than anything we have ever been able to do before.

Thank you, to our Black Friday shoppers!

You helped us put a day in our business history book as the BEST SALES DAY EVER! These wins really help us to keep going and keep bringing new solutions, and keep business running! Shop away babes!

And most of all, Thank You to the #ANAONOteam for working hard, committing to the cause, and never giving up!

Without you, I couldn’t make any of this happen. Couldn’t make my dreams come true, couldn’t keep growing AnaOno, and with you, I feel #NeverAlone.

On this National Thank You Note Day, spread kindness and thanks to those you love and have helped support you this year. 

xoxo, Dana
