Bras Across the River
Also on September 11th in Manchester, NH 95.7 fm WZID in conjunction with A Market Natural Foods presented the first 'Bras Across the River' event. Many vendors, local artists, and over fifteen organizations that deal with breast cancer were there. Admittance was a $10.00 donation and a bra to hang up on the bridge. Proceeds benefited the New Hampshire Breast Cancer Coalition, Elliot Breast Health Center, The Susan G. Komen Foundation and the American Cancer Society. I spent the afternon volunteering at the N.H. Breast Cancer Coalition table handing out information for their wonderful services to women, and found time to hang up some bras.
