Staging for Breast Cancer Awareness

An overview of the entire display area which contained both indoor and outdoor scenes.

On October 5, 2008, three Kingston Certified Canadian Staging Professionals^TM (CCSP) dedicated their trade show display at the Cataraqui Town Centre shopping mall to raising awareness of breast cancer.  Attracting attention of mall-goers, the display promoted support of Breast Cancer Research as well as the participants' property staging businesses.

CCSP and survivor, Beverly Woods of Stage Effects, originated the idea to dedicate Day Two of the showcase in honour of a friend who had passed away recently.  Sandra Muis, CCSP of Enhanced Homes, and Martha Stanton-Smith, CCSP of Rearrangements, were happy to support the initiative.

During Day One, the stagers created several different looks for the "after staging" bedroom. The "before" was a photo blow-up of a scene they created on set-up night.  An ebony bedroom suite supplied by National Rent to Own provided the constant element, while the stagers changed up the look with additions of their own rental bedding, art and accessories.

On Sunday, Run for the Cure day, the bedroom was transformed with a pink theme for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Beverly supplied an inspiring and touching video of the 2007 run and some upbeat warm-up music.
