Decorate a biker bra to fight breast cancer

How very appropriate. Fight breast cancer and raise breast cancer awareness by creating a bra with an anti-cancer message.

This Biker Bras for Breast Cancer Awareness event was sponsored by Rio Grande Valley & Roadrunner Harley-Davidson with operations in McAllen and San Benito, TX. Judging was held at what organizers hope will be the first annual Bike Bra Bash. All bras became property of Biker Bras for BCA and were auctioned at the group's special fundraising event that took place on South Padre Island as part of South Padre Island Bikefest, Oct. 8-10.

There was a $5 fee for each biker bra entered, and all proceeds from this contest will be used to pay for breast cancer screenings and mammograms for indigent and uninsured women in the Rio Grande Valley. Bikers could also enter their theme-decorated motorcycles for judging. A gallery of photos of the bra entries is available on the Biker Bras for BCA website.

    Neat idea to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. I will have to think of something to enter next year.

    There's a group called 'Save the ta-tas' that some bikers around here got hooked up with that sells t-shirts to raise money and awareness.
