WeddingPlanningandAccessories.com, a new website dedicated to highlighting quality products needed by nearly every bride or groom for their wedding day, is happy to present a charitable cause that literally is close to many hearts. While wedding planning in general can be very hectic and time consuming, hopefully most future brides and grooms have at least a moment left over to think of who may be less fortunate and in need.
Since the beginning of April, rocker Ariel Aparicio’s cover of the classic rock song “Pretty In Pink” has served as encouragement for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Until April 30th, Ariel will donate his proceeds of $.54 cents from each iTunes sale of his take on the Psychedelic Furs’ 1980s classic to the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure ®. This campaign was inspired by Celeste Orangers - Ariel’s extremely close friend of over 20 years (they met the very first day Ariel checked into NYU’s Weinstein dorm) who was diagnosed in May 2005 with stage III breast cancer, and today can call herself a survivor.
Reaction To “Pretty In Pink”
Richard Butler (lead singer of The Psychedelic Furs) heard Ariel’s cover and reached out to say- “I loved the version… well done!” “Pretty In Pink” also recently hit #4 on MTV Logo's “The Click List” and with continued fan support is on the rise to the top. Ariel’s previous single, “Life and Times” held the #1 position for 5 weeks in a row. While “Pretty In Pink” was released as a digital single only, Ariel released a full-length album, All These Brilliant Things in the fall of 2008.
