This October, Mauve Shoppe Boutique is honored to stand alongside women in our community who are facing the unimaginable. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are proud to launch Together for Hope—a month-long fundraising initiative supporting the vital mission of Mary’s Place by the Sea, an organization that provides rest and support for women with cancer.
We invite you to join us in giving back while you shop. Every purchase made at Mauve Shoppe—both in-store and online—will contribute directly to the services provided by Mary’s Place by the Sea.
How Your Purchase Helps
Throughout October, a portion of every sale will be donated to help fund holistic, non-medical support services offered at Mary’s Place by the Sea:
- Spend $50 and we’ll donate $5
- Spend $100 and we’ll donate $10
- Spend $150 and we’ll donate $20
- All orders under $50 will still contribute $1
This give-back initiative runs all month long and is available to all customers, no matter how or where you shop.
Why This Matters: A Sanctuary for Women Facing Cancer
Located just two blocks from the ocean in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, Mary’s Place by the Sea is not a hospital or a treatment center. It’s a sanctuary—a place where women with cancer can pause, reflect, and find strength without the pressure of everyday responsibilities. The home was created to offer something that medical care often cannot: emotional rest, spiritual connection, and community healing.
From the moment a guest arrives, she is surrounded by warmth, peace, and compassion. The environment is intentionally designed to uplift and support women navigating one of the hardest experiences of their lives.
A Home That Heals Beyond Medicine
Mary’s Place by the Sea is a 10-bedroom retreat home, fully equipped with private, accessible suites, nourishing meals prepared with care, and a range of therapeutic services. Guests receive access to wellness offerings such as meditation, oncology massage, expressive arts, counseling, yoga, and more—all at no cost.
The experience is about more than rest. It’s about rediscovering joy, reconnecting with oneself, and being cared for in a space where healing happens holistically—body, mind, and soul.
“I walked in feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and left feeling seen, supported, and more like myself than I had in months.”
These are the types of stories that come from Mary’s Place by the Sea. This isn’t just a temporary stay—it’s a deeply personal experience that women carry with them long after they leave.
