The Bowerbird in Old Lyme has selected the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation as the recipient of the proceeds from their 2008 gift-wrap program. The program runs from November 1, 2007 through October 31, 2008.

The Bowerbird charges a nominal fee for gift-wrapping purchases and then donates 50% to local non-profit organizations. They recently wrapped up their 2007 gift-wrapping campaign to raise funds for the Estuary Council of Seniors based in Old Saybrook and the Alzheimer Association, CT Chapter. Each organization was presented with a check in the amount of $2819. In the past fourteen years, The Bowerbird has donated over $40,000.00 to 20 local non- profits.
