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 and Bills 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. 

The 2008 Show Us Your BRA! Calendar was unveiled for purchase at the auction. Calendars make great holiday gifts and bring a bit of humor and levity to our busy lives, while reminding us of the efforts being made to combat breast cancer.

For the first time, Jill Weiner Bra Pins were available for purchase at the auction. Jill has created a specially designed bra pin to commemorate The Breast Form Fund for the Show Us Your BRA! event. These pins make an effective statement of your support for breast cancer survivors and demonstrate our hope to conquer breast cancer in our lifetime! Bra pins are available in many styles and colors and can be purchased for $10 at Gazebo (14 Center Street, Northampton, Massachusetts 01060).

New to this year’s event, attendees of the Gala voted for their favorite bra. The recipients of the most votes received the People’s Choice Award and a highly coveted spot in the 2009 Show Us Your BRA! Calendar.

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.
