This is a stunning Doris Gold one-of-a-kind hand-painted cover. I know, because she did it specifically for me. This cover has been spotlighted in several philatelic publications. Of all the covers in my collection, it has to be my favorite. The cachet depicts Therese Lasser, the founder of the ACS Reach To Recovery program, which provides support and services to women getting breast cancer surgery. Unfortunately, Doris passed away on April 25, 2022. Her legacy will live on without her.

“Did You Know?” USPS has sold more than 933 million Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamps and raised 75.2 million for research.
Here are 3 interesting Ms Samm Cachets created by Marian Samuels from West Lafayette IN. They are hand painted by her. The first is number 1 of 3, the other two are numbered 1 of 1. I've been told that Marian is an 80 year old African-American woman and a retired fashion designer. Her covers are a little more primitively done than most cachets I've seen, however I still like her unique style. Marian created these hand-painted add-on first day covers to help her raise money for a trip to Africa.

These two beautiful covers have add-on cachets created for me by Cindi Turner. Cindi used to work with me at the American Cancer Society office. I discovered, quite by accident, that she was a talented artist and asked her to use her imagination to create a couple of add-on cachets for me.

This is an actual Ceremony Program given out to attendees at the first day ceremony held in Washington DC on July 29, 1998. It includes a copy of the stamp with the official first day cancellation. These can be quite scarce due to their low distribution, however, many people collect only ceremony programs. The program includes an agenda of the ceremony and a list of the speakers and honored guests in attendance. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Dianne Feinstein were among those who attended.

These five unusual Going Postal add-on cachets were created by Rich Williams from Shalimar FL. I actually have two others that I don't believe are appropriate to include here. As you can see, Going Postal cachets are known for their irreverent humor and questionable taste. Rich's humor is not for everyone. The two middle cachets are obviously for adults only. I have blacked out the most explicit parts of them, but the originals were uncensored. Irreverent Humor, Breast Exam, Adults Only, Appropriate, Originals, Unusual

This nice TZUZI Cachet was created by Susan Hartman from Kalispell MT. Although the cover is unnumbered, Susan told me that she had only created one of them. The cachet's image is taken from the Breast Cancer Awareness stamp issued by the USPS on June 15, 1996. Susan used software to add some special effects to the original image before printing the cachet. The original stamp was designed by Tom Mann from Warrenton VA.

This is an outstanding cover created by Eric Hummel from Portland OR and is number 3 of 20. The cachet was created from scans of turn of the century artwork. The four similar images across the bottom are from Alphonse Mucha's "The Seasons." The image on the left side is from Manuel Orazi's "Loie Fuller." I hope the detail of these pictures comes across in the scan. It truly is a beautiful cover. Alphonse Mucha, Number 3, Cool Artwork, Scan, Portland, Eric

This beautiful DMZ Cachet was created by David Zigon from Harleysville PA and is number 2 of 5. I won it at the American First Day Cover Society's fundraising auction during Americover 99. The cachet features the fascinating image of a woman surrounded by DNA strands and test tubes. David told me that he used a color laser printer to create the cachet.
