The one-of-a-kind fundraising campaign, celebrating survivorship and artistry, would not be possible without bra designers to create humorous and heartwarming works of art. Their masterpieces help raise awareness of breast cancer. 

With a 38-C bra as their canvas, bra makers are challenged to construct unique and over-the-top designs that tell a story, share an inspiration, or simply show creativity. 

A Grand Prize winner will be announced at the Awards Show & Auction and awarded a $1,000 check. All winners are chosen by local celebrity judges. After the Awards show and Auction is held, a People’s Choice winner will be chosen via Facebook voting.

Nearly $2 million has been raised to fund free mammograms and related breast health services to eligible community members, and advanced technology at Chesapeake Regional Healthcare.
