If you joined us for our highly successful fundraising event on October 13, 2007 you witnessed an evening of exuberant fun! We enjoyed delicious food by Whole Foods Market, an overflowing wine bar by State Street Wines & Spirits, chocolate delicacies by Ben & Bill’s Chocolate Emporium, and the upbeat sounds of the BarBRA Weene Trio. We sold over 140 bras in the silent auction and entertained a sell-out crowd with bra modeling and a live auction. 25 more bras were sold during the exhibition that remained on view at the Northampton Center for the Arts until October 31. We were truly blessed by the generosity of all our bratistes, sponsors and our high-spirited guests. All funds raised benefit The Breast Form Fund, a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization that provides post-mastectomy prostheses and bras to uninsured and under-insured women in Massachusetts, helping breast cancer survivors look and feel beautiful.
