2nd annual Brava! WNY

Join us for a night of celebration about the place of bras in our lives to benefit women and girls

Featuring an exhibition by WNY artists on the place of brassieres in their lives, the pieces will touch on the subject of bras from many viewpoints, from the poignant to the hilarious.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Bras are one of the most in-demand clothing items for women in need, especially larger sizes;
  • Bras can be prohibitively expensive; women are often forced to choose between basic needs (food for children) and a bra;
  • Bras, on average, last less than 12 months.
