Business owners: Looking for a fun, creative way to show support a great cause?
The 2010 Bra-ha-ha is coming up in October, so break out your glue guns, rally your associates, and throw an office party of epic proportions.
At the Bra-ha-ha, individuals, companies and organizations decorate a 38C size bra and describe the bra’s inspiration in 50 words or less. All bras will be unveiled an opening gala at McArthur Center Oct. 3, and will remain on display there through Oct. 23.
Proceeds from the event go to support the work at Chesapeake Regional’s Breast Center. Entry fees are $25, and include one ticket to the opening night gala. The grand prize is $1,000. Deadline for entry forms is Sept. 3, and bra and fees are due by Sept. 10.
Last year, more than 150 bra artists from throughout Hampton Roads submitted bras in support of breast cancer awareness. Bras ranged from serious, whimsical, homages, to just outright hilarious. More than 500 breast cancer survivors, hospital employees and community members attended last year’s event.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information, and a gallery of bras, visit www.brahaha.org.
