A 25-year-old student from Long Beach, CA, named Jenny Ly called off her engagement [1] but decided to put her already-secured wedding venue to good use. She had a $5,000 contract with Clubhouse of the La Mirada Country Club in Santa Fe Springs, CA, where she is instead holding a cancer fundraiser.

"I could have just cried myself to sleep every night," Jenny told NBC 4. "But I'm trying to turn this bad situation into something else [2]."

All proceeds from the event — appropriately called Lemons to Lemonade — will go to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Although it's been difficult for Jenny since breaking it off with her fiancé [3] and partner of five years, she's found a silver lining in helping her friends and family who've recently been affected by cancer.

She also told NBC 4 that she might even add some sort of bridal shower to the fundraiser for fun. Now that's being a good sport.
