Georgia Mother-Daughter Business Owners Team Up to Promote Breast Cancer Awareness

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 8, 2006

Lila Huggins, owner of Miss Lila’s Tea Room located in Fairburn, GA has teamed up with her daughter Carrie Lauth, online business owner, to share information and raise money for breast cancer prevention and awareness.

Huggins is hosting a Ladies Night Out on October 28th at 7:00 P.M. at her Tea Room. The event, which includes dinner and live entertainment, will feature a motivational speaker who has also battled breast cancer. 10% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. Tickets must be purchased in advance in person at Miss Lila’s Tea Room or by phone. The purchase date cutoff is the 20th.

“I have been cancer free for 5 years now,” says Huggins. “I made some major lifestyle changes and my health has never been better. As a woman and business owner, I felt that I should do my part to raise awareness in the local community.”

Carrie Lauth, Lila’s youngest daughter, is a breastfeeding counselor who recently launched an online newletter called The Happy Breastfeeder. The ezine shares free breastfeeding success tips and information.

“Many women are pleasantly surprised to find that breastfeeding lowers both their and their baby’s breast cancer risk”, notes Lauth. “It’s yet another powerful reason to breastfeed.”

According to La Leche League International, considered the world’s foremost authority on breast feeding, research studies confirm that breastfeeding is one of several controllable factors that reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Both women recently added articles on preventing breast cancer and other women’s health issues to their websites.

“When you’re a woman in business, I think you feel more of an obligation to give something back to the community,” notes Huggins. “Women naturally look to each other for support, and when women come together, it can be a powerful thing.”
