Plum artist Anne Sailer is truly honored to have been asked to create an exclusive earring design for the Montclair Breast Center, a nationally-recognized team focused on sustaining and advancing breast health. The Montclair Breast Center sells jewelry and art objects and donates all of the profits to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC). Anne designed the earrings (see below) with the intention of supporting their mission and supporting breast health across the nation and around the world. These earrings are available for sale at the Montclair Breast Center and through Anne’s Etsy store (annesailer.etsy.com). Like the Montclair Breast Center, she will donate all of the profits from the sales of these earrings to the Center’s chosen not-for-profit organizations.
