Among our most generous friends, volunteers and supporters, The Breast Form Fund celebrated its seventh Show Us Your BRA!™Gala and Auction amidst the warm and elegant atmosphere of The Garden House at Look Park in Florence, Massachusetts. We enjoyed mountains of delicious food prepared by Whole Foods Market, lively music by The Dan Kane Singers, and a specially created “BRAtini” featuring pink Chambord vodka to celebrate our unique event. But it was the bras and their beautiful models that stole the show. The evening’s main attraction was the creative, witty and artistic bra creations made by some of our most talented calendar Bratistes. 28 of this year’s bras were included in the silent auction along with over 25 gift certificates donated by Valley businesses. Nine exceptional bras were auctioned, live on the runway, with the help our talented auctioneer George Thomas Lewis, Judith Fine, and our beautiful models Diane Tabb, Donna Jensen, Lisa Pighetti, Cheryl Kennedy, Donna McNeight, Pam Roberts, Rosanne Meczywor, Judy Perusse and Kerry Merchant. We presented awards to our talented bratistes Chapin Gilmore-Strickland (First Place), Joyce Utting Schutter (Second Place), Shelly Bird (Third Place) and Honorable Mention awards went to Pam Roberts, Heather Davis and Susan Zachary. Susan Zachary won The People’s Choice Award for her The BRA-QUE “S.S. Schumacher”. All bratistes, past and present, were toasted to honor their talented contributions to The BFF. Gerry L’Heureux shared loving memories of his first wife, Marie and her strength, sense of humor and joie de vivre throughout her life and battle with breast cancer. The Show Us Your BRA!™Gala was expertly coordinated by Kathy Nolan of Whimsy. Kathy treated us with a Candy Bar to round out our sweet and colorful evening.

THANK YOU to all who came, volunteered and supported Show Us Your BRA!™2010 through in-kind, cash and gift certificate donations and to our loyal and creative BRAtistes who never fail to amaze us. With everyone’s support we raised over $30,000 for underserved women in Massachusetts who seek post-mastectomy breast forms and bras. THANK YOU!
