This year’s Bra Couture KC event on Friday, April 12th was the organization’s biggest ever. Thanks to patrons’ generosity and support, the charity raised a whopping $450,000 to continue their mission of providing much-needed assistance to underinsured and uninsured cancer patients across the metro.

The annual event is a unique and fun auction showcasing eclectic work-of-art bras modeled by breast cancer survivors to celebrate their triumph over cancer. It’s not about the bra—it’s about the bravado to walk a 92-foot runway and the survival journey that it represents.

The $450,000 will go directly to cancer patients in the greater Kansas City area who cannot pay for their cancer supplies such as cancer medication, transportation to treatment, prosthetics, wigs, surgical supplies and lymphedema garments.
