Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is kicking off this year’s fight with a “Battle of the Bra’s”. A bra decorating contest will be the highlight of the 2011 kick off event, scheduled for August 11th beginning at 6pm at the Grand Theatre in Pier Park.
Dozens of pre-registered teams are expected to participate in the creative contest to support the fight against breast cancer. Survivors of the disease will be the judges to decide which teams created the best looking bras.
Since the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’s early registration event, the organization has rallied several dozen teams that are actively raising money. The funds raised go towards breast cancer research, education, advocacy, and our services and programs. One of the programs we offer is Look Good…Feel Better where licensed volunteer cosmetologists teach cancer patients techniques to help restore their appearance and self-image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Several local sponsors are major contributors also. The Making Strides team is pleased to announce the Women’s Imaging Center as the Pink Premier sponsor. Making Strides volunteers expect to reach the local chapter’s 130 thousand dollar goal by the end of October 2011.
More information about this year’s event and October walk will be provided at the August 11th kick off event. To attend the kickoff please RSVP. In order to RSVP, you may call the event chairperson, Michelle Perez at (850) 774-4636 or email michelle@persistence-pr.com. The bra battle will begin
immediately after the kickoff presentation.
