World First Event – BRA NATION!
In a
world first event, women - and men - will gather in their masses at The
Amphitheatre, Martin Place, Sydney, wearing nothing (on top) but their bra.
The
event, run by National Breast Cancer Foundation ambassador and television
presenter, Brooke Lowther and actor Conrad Coleby, will be held on October 27
to raise much needed funds for breast cancer research.
Besides
drawing hundreds of bra-clad supporters, the inaugural BRA NATION will feature musical performances,
celebrity appearances, a lingerie fashion show and the Fashions of the Reveal
competition where patrons can design there own bra to wear on the day.
The first of
what aims to be an annual event to be held in each capital city, will be
televised nationally to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast
cancer, a deadly and disfiguring disease that remains a worldwide killer of women, and accounts for 27.4% of
all new cancers in Australian women.
To get behind
this great cause and have a fabulous day out, grab your favourite bra - or
start designing your own - and head to Martin Place at TIME on Sunday, October
27.
