Luna, maker of the sports bar for women’s nutritional needs and super stylin’ biking gear , also dabbles in the arts. Every October to coordinate with Breast Cancer Awareness Month , for the past nine years Luna has put on Lunafest , a festival of short films, by, for, and about women; the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Fund . Last night I was lucky enough to attend the premiere here in San Francisco. It was inspirational – both creatively and health-wise. The Breast Cancer Fund’s mission is cancer prevention through educating women on environmental factors, including household cleaners and beauty products, that might play a part in the disease, as well as how healthy living – diet and exercise – help prevent it. The cool thing is,

you can host a Lunafest event, too, to raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund as well as a local nonprofit – more details on that later this month. There are already 110 screenings of the festival planned across the nation. Here’s the calendar of events so you can find when the festival will be coming to a theater near you. One of the 10 films features Laura Dern (it’s nice to see her again) in Courteney Cox’s directorial debut, the charming 19-minute film Monday Before Thanksgiving . I highly recommend this evening of films. How often do you get to raise funds for a good cause while sitting in the dark eating popcorn?
